• “Lead me, Lord, to the Rock that is higher than I. Let me hear your word, give me grace to obey, to build steadily, stone upon stone, day by day, to do what You say. Establish my heart where floods have no power to overwhelm, for Christ’s sake. Amen.” – Elisabeth Elliot

The Comforter by Charlotte Elliot

Spirit of truth, of power, of love. 

Who mak'st the contrite heart Thy seat. 
The Father's promise from above, 

Blest Paraclete ! 

The gift by Christ sent down from heaven 

To cheer His flock, then tempest-tost, 
The abundant compensation given 

For Him they lost; 

Spirit! the Church's Comforter, 

With whom Thou deignest to abide, 
Light, strength, and teaching to confer. 
Our steps to guide : 

Spirit of Jesus ! one with Him, 

And with the eternal Father one ! 
Remove the veil that renders dim 

That glorious Sun. 

Oh manifest Thy power anew ! 

Reveal His love, His truths divine ! 
Till in Thy light those truths we view, 
In vain they shine. 

" Spirit of glory and of Christ ! " 

Now lead us at His feet to fall; 
Show us His ransom has sufficed; 

Make Him our all !

  • “In case any are puzzled by the different translations from which I draw strength and help and delight, it is like this: In studying any object with the microscope we use different lenses and turn the mirror in various ways; each change brings out some new wonder and beauty. So it is for those who are not Greek or Hebrew scholars, and who use the work of scholars to open the meaning of the exhaustible Word–the Bible is richer than any single version can fully show.” – Amy Carmichael
