“The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities.” Rom. 8. 26

1 Blessed Spirit from above,
  Teach, O teach me how to pray;
  Fill my soul with heavenly love;
  Lead me the celestial way.

2 When temptations me surround,
  Help me, Lord, on thee to call;
  When iniquities abound,
  Save, O save me, or I fall.

3 When thou hidest thy lovely face,
  Till the cloud is passed away,
  And I feel the sweets of peace,
  Never let me cease to pray.

4 When I feel my heart like stone,
  When I have no heart to pray,
  At thy feet, O God, I’d groan,
  “Take this stony heart away.”

5 Holy Spirit, on me shine;
  Make my evidences clear;
  Then I’ll say that God is mine!
  I shall with the Lord appear!
