Composed for “Church Hymns with Tunes”, S.P.C.K., 1874.
| 1 | In the hour of my distress, | 2 | When I lie within my bed, | |||
| When temptations me oppress, | Sick in heart, and sick in head, | |||||
| And when I my sins confess, | And with doubts discomforted, | |||||
| Sweet Spirit, comfort me. | Sweet Spirit, comfort me. | |||||
| 3 | When the house doth sigh and weep, | 4 | When, God knows, I’m tost about, | |||
| And the world is drowned in sleep, | Either with despair or doubt, | |||||
| Yet mine eyes the watch do keep, | Yet, before the glass be out, | |||||
Sweet Spirit, comfort me. |
Sweet Spirit, comfort me. | |||||
| 5 | When the Judgement is revealed, | |
| And that opened which was sealed, | ||
| When to Thee I have appealed, | ||
| Sweet Spirit, comfort me. Amen. | ||
