Thy Spirit leads me to repent, And cast my care on Thee; I come to Him whom Thou hast sent, And bring my guilt with me. III O ever ready to bestow The help I daily need, Be Thou my strength where'er I go, My present Friend indeed. IV Then shall I live for evermore Rejoicing in Thy love, And follow, if Thou goest before, To better things above. {me nyx edexato} I O Son of God, on Thee we call, Blest Jesu, ere the darkness fall, Come near us in Thy grace; We own the sins that mar our life, And stem our efforts in the strife, And shamed we hide our face. II The morning came, and hope was clear, And void the soul of doubt and fear; But ere the noontide shone, The light was darkened in the sky, For thickest clouds came rolling nigh, And all our peace was gone. III And now the night is bringing dread, For guilt is resting on our head;-- O Christ, our prayers hear, Who bore our sorrows on the Cross, Who paid for us our priceless loss,-- And come in mercy near. IV Give us to know Thy strength is given To all who tread the path to heaven-- That we may fail to gain, And fall to rise, and forward press In light and dark, in storm and stress Of fear and doubt and pain. V Give us to know Thy mercies wait On those who knock at heaven's gate, That none can knock in vain; For He who died for sinful men Would have them come, and come again, Nor fainting e'er refrain. {zotikes ex hypsous biaias pheromenes} I The Christ of God to sorrowing hearts A gracious promise made, To send to them when He departs The Holy Spirit's aid. II And when the time appointed came, Lo! with a rushing power, The house was filled with tongues of flame, That Pentecostal hour. III And souls received new power from God, And hearts with zeal were fired, When once the word of truth abroad The lives of men inspired. IV O Comforter, the Holy Ghost, Now, as of old, come down, And with the power of Pentecost Our drooping spirits crown. {exagoreuso kat' emou ten anomian mou to kyrio} I
