Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #220 (1908) First Line: Our blest Redeemer, ere He breath'd Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere He breath'd
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
3 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each tho't, that calms each fear,
And speaks of heav'n.
4 And ev'ry virtue we possess,
And ev'ry vict'ry won,
And ev'ry tho't of holiness
Are His alone.
5 Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see;
O make our hearts Thy dwelling place,
And worthier Thee. Topics: Redeemer--Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CUTHBERT
