[Verse 1]
DGD
Our blest Redeemer ere He breathed
BmE7A
His tender last fare-well
A7DD7GEmD
A guide a Com-fort-er be-queathed
AD
With us to dwell
[Verse 2]
DGD
He came in semblance of a dove
BmE7A
With sheltering wings out-spread
A7DD7GEmD
The holy balm of peace and love
AD
On earth to shed
[Verse 3]
DGD
He came in tongues of living flame
BmE7A
To teach, con-vince, sub-due
A7DD7GEmD
All powerful as the wind He came
AD
As viewless too
[Verse 4]
DGD
He comes sweet influence to im-part
BmE7A
A gracious will-ing guest
A7DD7GEmD
When he can find one hum-ble heart
AD
Wherein to rest
[Verse 5]
DGD
And His that gentle voice we hear
BmE7A
Soft as the breath of even
A7DD7GEmD
That checks each fault that calms each fear
AD
And speaks of heaven
[Verse 6]
DGD
And every virtue we po-ssess
BmE7A
And every vic-tory won
A7DD7GEmD
And every thought of ho-li-ness
AD
Are his a - lone
[Verse 7]
DGD
Spirit of puri-ty and grace
BmE7A
Our weakness pit-ying see
A7DD7GEmD
O make our hearts Thy dwel-ling place
AD
And worthier Thee
