"ANOTHER COMFORTER." (John xiv. 16-26.)
Oh God, the Holy Spirit!Oh Legacy of Christ!Oh Gift of God the Father!Oh Blessedness unpriced!Oh Spring of life eternal!Oh living, loving, Dower!Oh heavenly Inspiration!Show forth in us Thy power.
Oh Herald of salvation!Oh Harbinger of rest!Oh Earnest of redemption,Sealing us God-possessed!Oh gracious Hope-instiller!Oh Comforter unique!Oh Liberty-bestower!Thine influence we seek.
Oh sanctifying Spirit!Oh Fount of righteousness!Oh God, the sole BegetterOf love, and joy, and peace!Oh Root of all longsuffering,Gentleness, goodness, faith!Oh Source of meekness, temperance!Transform us by Thy breath.
Oh infinite Revealer!Oh Witness of the Lord!Oh bountiful DispenserOf the all glorious Word!Oh true, unerring Teacher!Remembrancer and Guide!Oh urgent Intercessor!In us for aye abide.
