In the day of | grief, despe- | rate |

And of

sorrow;

I

When my heart is over- | whelmed with- | in me:2 Take not thy | Holy | Spirit from me.3

When I am old | and grey| headed, 4

When the grass- | hopper shall be a burden,

And desire shall | fail : 5 Take not thy | Holy | Spirit from me.3

When the waves of death | compass me,"

And my life draweth | nigh un- to the grave;7: In the day of death: 8 Take not thy | Holy | Spirit from me.3

Whom have I in heaven but thee? 9

My witness | is in | heaven,

My record is on | high:10 Take not thy | Holy | Spirit from me.3
