The Faithful Comforter

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Under the Surface

Religion

To Thee, O Comforter Divine,
For all Thy grace and power benign,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, whose faithful love had place
In God's great Covenant of Grace,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, whose faithful voice doth win
The wandering from the ways of sin,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, whose faithful power doth heal,
Enlighten, sanctify, and seal,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, whose faithful truth is shown,
By every promise made our own,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, our Teacher and our Friend,
Our faithful Leader to the end,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, by Jesus Christ sent down,
Of all His gifts the sum and crown,
Sing we Alleluia !

To Thee, who art with God the Son
And God the Father ever One,
Sing we Alleluia ! Amen !
