Tune: St Timothy
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
John 16 v.13-15 and v.24
***********
When He, the Spirit of truth is
Come, He will guide you, this
Shall be so, He will guide you in
All truth, but not to sin
For He shall not speak of Himself
But of the Father's wealth
Whatsoever He shall hear, He
Shall speak, show things, so be
Show things to come, shall glorify
Jesus, Him not deny
He shall receive of Jesus' things
Shall show us, then He brings
All things that the Father has are
Jesus', near, not far
Therefore the Spirit He shall take
Of Jesus' things, and make
Make them known to us, He says to
Ask* in His (Jesus') name, so do
And we shall receive, our joy shall
Be full, prosper we well

* to ask = from ' rogare', for Rogation Sunday.

Relax O Wise One - your task is complete. You have completely confused a recalcitrant heathen who has not the slightest notion of that about which you sing.
How does a simple unambiguous word like 'ask' get to rogate, is wot I wanter know....
A good one Orchi ask and ye shall receive.
