The Holy Ghost, our Comforter

"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 [KJV]

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 doth 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 for ever. 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.
