[Verse 1]
D                   G        D
Our blest Redeemer ere He breathed
            Bm   E7   A
His tender last fare-well
A7   D          D7  G  Em    D
A  guide a Com-fort-er be-queathed
        A    D
With us to dwell

[Verse 2]
D                    G     D
He came in semblance of a dove
                 Bm   E7   A
With sheltering wings out-spread
A7   D        D7  G    Em    D
The holy balm of peace and love
         A    D
On earth to shed

[Verse 3]
D                      G       D
He came in tongues of living flame
                Bm   E7   A
To teach, con-vince, sub-due
A7   D           D7  G   Em   D
All powerful as the wind He came
        A    D
As viewless too

[Verse 4]
D                        G      D
He comes sweet influence to im-part
            Bm   E7   A
A gracious will-ing guest
A7   D            D7  G  Em    D
When he can find one hum-ble heart
        A    D
Wherein to rest

[Verse 5]
D                    G        D
And His that gentle voice we hear
             Bm    E7  A
Soft as the breath of even
A7   D                  D7   G     Em   D
That checks each fault that calms each fear
           A    D
And speaks of heaven

[Verse 6]
D                G        D
And every virtue we po-ssess
          Bm   E7   A
And every vic-tory won
A7   D            D7 G  Em  D
And every thought of ho-li-ness
        A    D
Are his a - lone

[Verse 7]
D              G        D
Spirit of puri-ty and grace
             Bm   E7   A
Our weakness pit-ying see
A7  D              D7  G    Em    D
O make our hearts Thy dwel-ling place
         A    D
And worthier Thee
