Lyrics

Father, glo­ri­fy Thy Son,
Answering His all pow­er­ful pray­er;
Send the In­ter­ces­sor down—
Send that oth­er Com­fort­er,
Whom be­liev­ing­ly we claim,
Whom we ask in Je­sus’ name.

Then by faith we know and feel
Him, the Spi­rit of truth and grace;
With us He vouch­safes to dwell,
With us while un­seen He stays;
All our help and good, we own,
Freely flows from Him alone.

Wilt Thou not the pro­mise seal,
Good and faith­ful as Thou art,
Send the Com­fort­er to dwell
Every mo­ment in our heart?
Yes, Thou wilt the grace be­stow;
Christ hath said it shall be so.
