Laudes Domini ‎#247

247. Jesus' parting Gift

1 The Holy Ghost is here,
Where saints in prayer agree;
As Jesus' parting gift,--is near
Each pleading company.

2 Not far away is he,
To be by prayer brought nigh,
But here in present majesty
As in his courts on high.

3 He dwells within our soul,
An ever welcome guest;
He reigns with absolute control,
As monarch in the breast.

4 Our bodies are his shrine,
And he the indwelling Lord;
All hail, thou Comforter divine,
Be evermore adored!

5 Obedient to thy will,
We wait to feel thy power,
O Lord of life, our hopes fulfill,
And bless this hallowed hour.
