Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.
How the billows cease to roll!
All around, this heavenly Guest
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming to us from on high.
Blessed fruits of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness.
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation!
What a quiet resting place!
