AWAY with our fears, Our troubles and tears: The Spirit is come, The witness of Jesus returned to His home. |
|||
2 | The pledge of our Lord To Heaven restored Is sent from the sky, And tells us our Head is exalted on high. |
||
3 | Our Advocate there By His blood and His prayer The gift has obtained, For us He has prayed, and the Comforter gained. |
||
4 | Our glorified Head His Spirit has shed, With His people to stay, And never again will He take Him away. |
||
5 | Our heavenly Guide With us shall abide, His comforts impart, And set up His kingdom of love in the heart. |
||
6 | Then let us rejoice In heart and in voice, Triumphant arise, And walk with our God until called to the skies. |

Charles Wesley, 1707-88 |
