The words
Verse 1
If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may 'bide with you forever, that He may 'bide with you forever, ev'n the spir't of truth, the spir't of truth, ev'n the spir't of truth, the spir't of truth, the spir't of truth, that He may 'bide with you forever, that He may 'bide with you forever: e'en the spir't of truth, the spir't of truth, e'en the spir't of truth, the spir't of truth, the spir't of truth.
