- 1Holy Spirit, faithful guide,
- Ever near the Christian’s side,
- Gently lead us by the hand,
- Pilgrims in a desert land;
- Weary souls fore’er rejoice,
- While they hear that sweetest voice
- Whisp'ring softly, “Wanderer come!
- Follow me, I’ll guide thee home."
- 2Ever present, truest Friend,
- Ever near Thine aid to lend,
- Leave us not to doubt and fear,
- Groping on in darkness drear;
- When the storms are raging sore,
- Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er,
- Whisp'ring softly, “Wanderer come!
- Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.”
- 3When our days of toil shall cease,
- Waiting still for sweet release,
- Nothing left but heaven and prayer,
- Wond'ring if our names were there;
- Wading deep the dismal flood,
- Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood;
- Whisp'ring softly, “Wanderer come!
- Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.”
