“THE COMFORTER.”

John xiv. 26.

Oh breathe upon this languid frame,
Spirit of heavenly might!
Baptize me with the vital flame
Of purity and light.
Descend like Heaven's self-kindled fire
On my heart's sacrifice,
Till self in flames of love expire,
In clouds of incense rise.
Spring up within this flinty heart,
Well-spring of life divine!
Health to my feeble pulse impart!
Light out of darkness shine!
O Light and Power! O Life and Love!
Of every good the Source!
Vouchsafe me succours from above,
To speed me on my course.
186

Instruct me, rule me, guide my feet:
My every thought control:
My Teacher, Patron, Paraclete!
Possess and guard my soul.
Spirit of Christ, sent forth from Him,
Yet uncreate, Divine!
Thine are the songs of Seraphim:
All human praise be thine.
