Lyrics

O the bless­èd Ho­ly Spi­rit,
How He leads me in the way;
In the straight and nar­row path­way,
In the light of per­fect day.

Refrain

Shout His prais­es on the hill­tops,
Tell it to the world around;
Glory! glo­ry! hal­le­lu­jah!
What a Sav­ior I have found.

Jesus is my on­ly re­fuge,
I will trust Him ev­ery day;
For I know He’ll ne­ver leave me;
He will guide me on the way.

Refrain

Let us praise Him, bless­èd Je­sus,
O His glo­ry fills my soul;
Oh, His love! no tongue can tell it,
I am ev­ery whit made whole.

Refrain

O I know He’ll ne­ver leave me,
For I have Him in my heart;
Blessèd Je­sus, pre­cious Sav­ior,
I will ne­ver from Thee part.

Refrain

And when all the loved ones ga­ther
In that bless­èd home above,
We will praise Him there for­ev­er,
Dwelling in the realms of love.
