1 O Lord, Thou art our Paraclete,
Our Comforter indeed,
Our Patron with our God above,
The Advocate we need.
2 Thou art our Counsel of defense,
The Pleader of our case,
Our Interceder for all things,
Our Helper in all ways.
3 Lord, Thou dost manage all affairs
For us in God's delight,
Both in the heavens and in us
With power in Thy right.
4 Thou intercedest all the time,
Lord Spirit, with Thy grace,
In heav'n to plead, in us to groan,
Entreating in our place.
5 Thou helpest as the living One,
And actest by God's plan
In resurrection pow'r of life,
Empow'ring our inner man.
6 Thou, as the Spirit giving life,
In weakness dost sustain;
And in our spirit with, Thy strength,
Our being dost maintain.
7 Thou servest ever with Thyself,
In mercy and in love,
That Thou may be our all in all,
And we Thy fulness prove.
