Hymn 387 – OUR blest Redeemer, ere He breathed | C&S English Hymnary

1. OUR blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender last farewell A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed With us to dwell. 2. He came in semblance of a dove With sheltering wings outspread The holy balm of peace and love On each to shed. 3. He comes sweet influence to impart A gracious, willing Guest While He can find one humble heart Wherein to rest. 4. And His that gentle voice we hear Soft as the breath of even That checks each fault, that calms each fear. And speaks of heaven. 5. And every virtue we possess And every conquest won And every thought of holiness Are His alone. 6. Spirit of purity and grace Our weakness, pitying, see O! make our heart Thy dwelling place. And meet for Thee AMEN
