1. Call for the Spirit, He is nigh,
    Knock at the door, He’ll not deny,
    Faint though your cry, He understands.
    Only submit to His commands.

             CHORUS

    Comforter, hear our cry,
    Thou our need and rest indeed,
    Now abide, fortify,
    Just this slender, broken reed.

2. The Lord has promised, He’ll not fail,
    Treasure so rare sent down from Heav’n,
    Temples of God though weak and frail,
    Chosen are they cleansed and forgiv’n.

3.  Spirit of truth to guide and teach,
    Of things to come He will disclose,
    Through Spirit’s pow’r His counsels preach,
    What peace and joy He doth dispose.

4. One with the Lord now unified,
    Filled with the Spirit sanctified,
    There up in Heaven glorified,
    Thus will His Word be magnified.

5. Sent by the Father, Paraclete,
    Wakening the Church, Thy gifts impart,
    Thy work on earth do Thou complete,
    For Thee a people set apart.
