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.
