Lyrics

Holy Spir­it, teach­er Thou,
At the throne of grace we bow;
Come, per­form Thine of­fice now,
Teach us ev­er­more.

Refrain

Holy Spir­it, teach us ev­er,
Comfort, guide and leave us ne­ver;
Dwell with­in us, we im­plore,
Now and ev­er­more.

Comforter in­deed Thou art,
Giving strength to ev­ery heart;
Let Thy pre­sence ne’er depart,
Comfort ev­er­more.

Refrain

Sent to be our guide to­day,
Keep us in the nar­row way;
Grant that we may ne­ver stray,
Guide us ev­er­more.

Refrain

Teacher, com­fort­er, and guide,
In our hearts do Thou abide;
And in life, what­e’er be­tide,
Help us ev­er­more.
