The Army and Navy Hymnal/Hymns/Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

by Marcus Morris Wells

1. Ho-ly Spir-it, faith-ful Guide,
   Ev-er near the Christian's side;
   Gen-tly lead use by the hand,
   Pil-grims in a des-ert land;
   Wea-ry souls for-e'er re-joice,
   While they hear the sweet-est voice,
   Whispering soft-ly,
   'Wanderer come; Fol-low Me, I'll Guide thee home.'
   
2. Ev-er pres-ent, tru-est Friend,
   Ev-er near thine aid to lend;
   Leave us not to doubt and fear,
   Grop-ing on in dark-ness drear;
   When the storms are rag-ing sore,
   Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er
   Whispering soft-ly,
   'Wanderer come; Fol-low Me, I'll Guide thee home.'
   
3. When our days of toil shall cease,
   Wait-ing still for sweet re-lease,
   Noth-ing left but heaven and prayer,
   Won-d'ring if our name are there;
   Wad-ing deep the dis-mal flood,
   Plead-ing nought but Je-sus' blood,
   Whispering soft-ly,
   'Wanderer come; Fol-low Me, I'll Guide thee home.'
