1 Holy 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, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
2 Ever 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, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
3 When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heav'n and prayer,
Wond'ring if our names were there;
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood,
Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
