Tune: Down Ampney
('Come down, O love divine')
John 14 v.26 & 27; John 16 v.13-15
********
The Comforter shall come
And make our heart His home
Sent from the Father in Jesus' name, promised
He shall teach us all things
Each thing from God He brings
Shall reside in us, humankind He has kissed
And He shall bring to our
Remembrance each hour
Whatsoever Jesus has said to us sure
Peace He did leave, His peace
A fount that shall not cease
Not as worldly peace but lasting evermore
Let not heart be troubled
He has chosen us, called
These words to assure us by Jesus spoken
For the Comforter, He
Helper, Paraclete be
He will guide us into all truth, right ways then
He shall not speak of self
But of the Father's wealth
Whatsoever He shall hear, shall to us speak
Shall show us things to come
Through God's treasures shall roam
And glorify Jesus, meet with lowly, meek
Of Christ He shall receive
Show to us, no deceive
All things that the Father has are Jesus's
So Christ says the Spirit
Shall take Christ's things, each whit
And shall show them unto us, help us gracious
