Comfort then the aching breast, Grant us courage, patience, rest. 7 Mighty Spirit of reliance, Sure Defence in all our need! When the foe bids us defiance, Bid Thy work in us Godspeed! Grant us weapons for the strife, And with victory crown our life. 8 Guard, O God, our faith forever; Let not Satan, death or shame Ever part us from our Savior; Lord, our Refuge is Thy name. Though our flesh would fain say Nay, Be Thy Word to us still Yea. 9 And when death life's thread is rending, Then assure us yet the more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store Which can never be expressed, But with which we shall be blest.

Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Though here to dwell Thou deignest Forever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin; So wash and cleanse Thou me That I may serve Thee truly, To render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 An olive wild by nature Thou graftedst me anew; Death preyed upon my vitals, And claimed me as his due: But Christ's atoning blood, In death true comfort granting, Drowned death with all his vaunting, In His baptismal flood. 4 Thou art, O Holy Spirit, The true anointing Oil, Through which are consecrated Soul, body, ease, and toil To Christ, whose guardian wings, Where'er their lot appointed, Protect His own anointed, His prophets, priests, and kings. 5 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might: They pierce the highest heaven, Unheard they cannot fall, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 6 Joy is Thy gift, O Spirit, Thou wouldst not have us pine; In darkest hours Thy comfort Doth aye most brightly shine; And, oh, how oft Thy voice Hath shed its sweetness o'er me, And opened heaven before me, And bid my heart rejoice! 7 All love in Thine, O Spirit; Thou hatest enmity; Thou lovest peace and friendship, All strife wouldst have us flee; Where wrath and discord reign Thy whisper inly pleadeth, And to the heart that heedeth Brings love and light again. 8 The whole wide world, O Spirit! Upon Thy hands doth rest; Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As it may seem Thee best; Once more Thy power make known, As Thou hast done so often, Convert the wicked, soften Thyself the hearts of stone. 9 O Holy Spirit, hear us And make our sorrow cease; Thy scattered flock restore now To union, joy, and peace; Bid flourish once again The lands by men forsaken, The churches spoiled and shaken By war's unhallowed train. 10 On those that rule our country O shower Thy blessings down, And in Thy loving-kindness Adorn, as with a crown, With piety our youth, With godliness our nation, That all, to gain salvation, May know Thy heavenly truth. 11 With holy zeal then fill us, To keep the faith still pure; And bless our lands and houses With wealth that may endure; And make that Foe to flee, Who in us with Thee striveth, From out our heart he driveth Whate'er delighteth Thee. 12 Grant steadfastness and courage, That bravely we contend Against the wiles of Satan; O Lord, Thy flock defend! Help us to battle well, To triumph o'er the Devil, To overcome the evil And all the powers of hell. 13 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind, And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, O grant us then to die With calm and fearless spirit, And after death inherit Eternal life on high.
