EN 4468 We Now Implore God the Holy Ghost

John.16.13

Versi Version 1

We now implore God the Holy Ghost

For the true faith, which we need the most,

That in our last moments He may befriend us

And, as homeward we journey, attend us.

Lord, have mercy!

Shine in our hearts, O most precious Light,

That we Jesus Christ may know aright,

Clinging to our Savior, whose blood hath bought us,

Who again to our homeland hath brought us.

Lord, have mercy!

Thou sacred Love, grace on us bestow,

Set our hearts with heav’nly fire aglow

That with hearts united we love each other,

Of one mind, in peace with every brother.

Lord, have mercy!

Thou highest Comfort in every need,

Grant that neither shame nor death we heed,

That e’en then our courage may never fail us

When the foe shall accuse and assail us.

Lord, have mercy!
