224. Away with our fears

1 Away with our fears,
our troubles and tears:
the Spirit is come,
the witness of Jesus returned to his home.

2 Our advocate there
by his death and his prayer
the gift has obtained,
for us he has prayed, and the Comforter gained.

3 Our glorified Lord
has given his word
that his Spirit will stay,
and never again will be taken away.

4 Our heavenly guide
with us shall abide,
His comforts impart,
and set up his kingdom of love in our heart.

5 The heart that believes
his kingdom receives,
his power and his peace,
his life, and his joy’s everlasting increase.
