LITANY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Surer and better than the subtlest head,

Still with its silent counsels through the dark Onward and onward leading.

IN the hour of my distress, When temptations me oppress, And when I my sins confess, Sweet Spirit, comfort me.

LITANY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.

When I lie within my bed, Sick in heart and sick in head, And with doubts disquieted,

Sweet Spirit, comfort me.

ROGERS.

When the house doth sigh and weep, And the world is drown'd in sleep, Yet mine eye the watch do keep, Sweet Spirit, comfort me.

When the passing- bell doth toll, And the furies, in a shoal,

Come to fright my parting soul, Sweet Spirit, comfort me. 12
