1. Blest Comforter, abide with me;
The clouds will lift, the shadows flee;
The heav’nly light will shine within,
And drive away the mists of sin.
Chorus:
Blest Comforter, (Blest Comforter,) dear Comforter (dear Comforter,)
I open wide (I open wide,) my heart to thee; (my heart to thee;)
Blest Comforter (Blest Comforter,) dear Comforter (dear Comforter,)
Come, evermore abide with me.
2. Blest Comforter, the truth is thine;
Make me to know the word divine;
Explain the grace of Christ to me,
And let me all his fulness see.
3. Blest Comforter, I need thy pow’r
To conquer sin, each passing hour;
Thy guiding voice I will obey,
Point out the path, and lead the way.
