1
O Holy Ghost, eternal God,
Blest comfort for life’s rugged road,
With all my heart I pray to Thee;
In mercy hear my earnest plea.
2
Be Thou my Comforter, O Lord:
Against despair Thine aid afford,
Protect me from the snares of hell,
Grant that in Jesus Christ I dwell.
3
O may I always ready be
To serve this Master faithfully,
And own Him in true living faith,
My Lord and Saviour unto death.
4
O lead me in the narrow way
That I from Thee may never stray,
And when this earthly life I leave,
Eternal joy I may receive.
