Author: Robert Herrick, 1591-1674 Hymnal: New English Praise #624 (2006) First Line: In the hour of my distress Lyrics: 1 In the hour of my distress
When temptations me oppress,
And when I my sins confess,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me, comfort me!
2 When I lie within my bed,
Sick in heart, and sick in head,
And with doubts discomforted,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me, comfort me!
3 When the house doth sigh and weep,
And the world is drowned with sleep,
Yet mine eyes the watch do keep,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me, comfort me! Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Sickness and Healing Languages: English Tune Title: LITANY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Sweet Spirit, comfort me
