We Now Implore God the Holy Ghost

1. We now im- plore God the Ho- ly Ghost For the true faith, which we need the most, That in our last mo- ments He may be- friend us And, as home- ward we jour- ney, at- tend us. Lord, have mer- cy.

2. Shine in our hearts, O most pre- cious Light, That we Je- sus Christ may know a- right, Cling- ing to our Sa- vior, whose blood hath bought us. Who a- gain to our home- land hath brought us. Lord, have mer- cy.

3. Thou sa- cred Love, grace on us be- stow, Set our hearts with heav'n- ly fire a- glow That with hearts u- ni- ted we love each o- ther, Of one mind, in peace with ev- 'ry bro- ther. Lord, have mer- cy!

4. Thou high- est Com- fort in ev- 'ry need, Grant that nei- ther shame nor death we heed, That e'en then our cou- rage may ne- ver fail us When the Foe shall ac- cuse and as- sail us. Lord, have mer- cy!
