The holy Spirit a Guide

WE Strangers are, Lord in the world,
Ah! 'tis a wilderness,
And many crooked ways there are,
We therefore do confess

We want a Guide who skilful is,
Thy Spirit, Lord, is come,
No Guide like him be sure there is,
O let him guide us home.

Thy Spirit points unto thy Word,
And shews where dangers lye;
Let's yield our selves with one accord
To him continually;

And we shall all be rid of cares,
And never lose our way;
He true Directions always gives,
We may not go astray.

O well it is for us, O Lord,
Who naturally are blind,
That we have such a Guide as this
To stay our doubtful mind.

Then sing to him with heart and voice,
No counsel like to his;
He will not leave us till he hath
Brought us to lasting bliss.
