Lyrics

To Thee, O Com­fort­er di­vine,
For all Thy grace and pow­er be­nign,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Thee, whose faith­ful love had place
In God’s great co­ve­nant of grace,
Sing we Al­le­luia!

To Thee, whose faith­ful voice doth win
The wan­der­ing from the ways of sin,
Sing we Al­lel­uia!

To Thee, whose faith­ful pow­er doth heal,
Enlighten, sanc­ti­fy, and seal,
Sing we Al­le­luia!

To Thee, whose faith­ful truth is shown,
By ev­ery pro­mise made our own,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Thee, our teac­her and our friend,
Our faith­ful lead­er to the end,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Thee, by Je­sus Christ sent down,
Of all His gifts the sum and crown,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Thee, who art with God the Son
And God the Fa­ther ev­er One,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
