Tune: Franconia
('Blest are the pure in heart')
John 14 v.14-17
***********
Jesus said, If you do
Love me, sincere and true
Keep my commandments, what I say
I be the Life, Truth, Way
And I will pray unto
The Father, and He to
You shall give another to stay
With you, even alway
Another Comforter*
To sister and brother
The Holy spirit, so shall He
You Helper ever be
He be the Paraclete**
Though the world not Him greet
Nor know Him, but for you He shall
With [you], and in you, e'er dwell
----
* Comforter can include the meanings of 'solace' and 'strengthen'.
** Paraclete - one called alongside to help.
