4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

     7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.(KJV)

1. O Holy Spirit, grant us grace 
That we our Lord and Savior 
In faith and fervent love embrace 
And truly serve Him ever, 
So that when death is drawing nigh, 
We to His open wounds may fly 
And find in them salvation. 

2. Help us that we Thy saving Word 
In faithful hearts may treasure; 
Let e’er that Bread of Life afford 
New grace in richest measure. 
Yea, let us die to every sin, 
For heaven create us new within 
That fruits of faith may flourish. 

3. And when our earthly race is run, 
Death’s bitter hour impending, 
Then may Thy work in us begun 
Continue till life’s ending, 
Until we gladly may commend 
Our souls into our Savior’s hand 
To rest in peace eternal.
