754. Holy Comforter, descend

1 Holy Comforter, descend,
Testify of Christ, the Lamb;
From the foe our hearts defend,
And with zeal our hearts inflame.

2 Send a spark of heavenly fire,
Quick as lightning to the soul:
This shall melt and bring us nigher,
Raise us up and make us whole.

3 Teach us truly how to pray,
Carnal else will be our cries;
Turn us, Lord, from self away,
And from Jesus send supplies.

4 Every burdened soul relieve,
Wipe away the mourner’s tears;
Help them fully to believe,
And on thee to cast their cares.
