Jesus hath spoke the faithful word

Jesus hath spoke the faithful word
On them that ask Him here,
Thou shalt, in honour of our Lord,
The Holy Ghost confer.

If evil we, by nature know
To give our children food,
Much more Thou wilt on us bestow
The soul-sustaining good.

Our holy heavenly Father Thou
Regard'st Thy children's prayer:
Answer, and send, O send us now
The promised Comforter.

We seek, Thou know'st, we seek Thy face
Let us the blessing find:
Open the door of faith and grace
To us, and all mankind.

Surely Thou wilt, we dare believe,
For Jesus' sake alone,
Thou wilt to us the Spirit give,
Give all good gifts in One.
