"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." - John 14:26
Oh blessed Spirit, to whom I owe such unspeakable mercies, let me,
Lord, contemplate thee this day under this gracious, kind,
compassionate office of the Comforter. Thou art indeed the Holy Ghost
the Comforter. And how mercifully dost thou sympathize with all the
followers of Jesus in their various afflictions, both of soul and body.
How tenderly dolt thou shew us our sins, and lead to Jesus's blood to
wash them away. How sweetly dost thou visit, encourage, strengthen,
instruct, lead, and guide, into all truth. And how powerfully at times,
by thy restraining grace, dost thou enable us to mortify the deeds of
the body, that we may live. Hail, thou holy, blessed, almighty
Comforter! Oh let thy visits be continual. Come, Lord, and abide with
me, and be with me forever. Manifest that thou art the Sent of the
Father, and of the Son, in coming to me in Jesus's name, in teaching me
of all the precious things concerning Jesus, and acting as the
Remembrancer of Jesus; that in thee, by thy blessed office work, I may
know, and live in the sweet enjoyment of fellowship with the Father,
and with his Son Jesus Christ, through the influence of the Holy Ghost,
the Comforter.
