Harriet Auber Quote

Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All-powerful as the wind he came,
As viewless too.

'Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed' (1829 hymn)
