That ever Thou didst come
O make Thy pre­cious Word, day un­to day,
By God’s re­gen­er­at­ing word,
But still with soft­est breath­ings stir,
The hearts of all men in Thy hand,
We bless Thy ten­der care
He will safe­ly lead us thro’ the sha­dows dim,
But still with soft­est breath­ings stir
Ne’er may we bow the knee
Thy Word, O Lord to us is sweet,
Our sin­ful past we here re­pent,
Who, al­ways mer­ci­ful and good,

Our way­ward

Back to the Fa­ther’s home.
Help us to hon­or Thee, Sav­ior and King,
And Ed­en’s har­mo­ny re­stored.
O Ho­ly Spir­it, Com­fort­er!
To have no oth­er will but Thine.
Past ev­ery fa­tal snare,
And in Heav­en’s sun­shine we are safe at last.
O Holy Ghost, the Com­fort­er.
Set up in­stead of Thee.
And light the way that leads to God,
Now, let Thy par­don­ing grace be sent—
Nor cut us off un­spar­ing­ly
