When all aid is unavailing, Flesh and heart together failing, Sin and death the soul assailing,-- Jesus, Saviour, comfort me. On thy word alone relying,-- Never thy dear name denying,-- O, forsake me not when dying! Jesus, Saviour, comfort me. Crowned, at last, in light supernal, Victor over foes infernal,-- With thy love, supreme, eternal, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me. HOLY SPIRIT, HEAVENLY GUEST! Holy Spirit, heavenly Guest, Make thy home within my breast; Yearns for thee my weary heart,-- Come, and nevermore depart. Where thou dwellest peace abides,-- Grace surpassing all besides,-- Priceless treasure, pure and blest, Earnest of eternal rest. God’s dear will be done in me Even as it pleaseth thee; Only let me fully prove The sweet comfort of thy love. Cheerfully, for Jesus’ sake, May I every burden take,-- Glad to trace the pathway trod By the suffering Son of God. Blessed Comforter and Guide, Keep me near the Saviour’s side, Till I in his likeness rise, Crowned with bliss beyond the skies. HOLY SPIRIT, LIGHT DIVINE! Holy Spirit, Light divine! On our souls in mercy shine; Gates of heaven again unfold;-- Haste, for Time is waxing old. On the Church of Jesus shower All thy plenitude of power; Heal earth’s bitterness and strife With the Saviour’s love and life. Over all created things Brooded, once, thy blessèd wings; Groans the world with grief and pain Dove divine! descend again. “THE DAY OF CHRIST.” The Son of man will come,-- His promise cannot fail; The royal Conqueror Shall over all prevail; And Earth shall hear his summons dread, And Death and Hell give up their dead. Ten thousand thousand saints His coming shall attend,-- And underneath his feet The firmament shall rend; And, prostrate at his judgment throne, The world his sovereignty shall own. O Son of Mary! hear A helpless sinner’s prayer, And, on that awful day, Make me thy gracious care; O, be my heart’s sure hope and stay When the wide heavens shall flee away. Keep faithful watch, my soul, And pray “Thy kingdom come;” But leave it all to Him, How he shall bring thee home; The resurrection of the just Shall recompense thy patient trust. THE CONSUMMATION. O Saviour, whose surpassing grace Exceeds the guilt thy griefs atoned, The praises of a ransomed race Be thine, in highest heaven enthroned. The Father’s everlasting love Thy blessed life and death declare; And still, though crowned with bliss above, Our deepest sorrows thou dost share.
