Come To Our Poor Nature's Night (IRENE) - Beautiful Old Hymn

While searching for hymns with the "nature" theme, I came upon this hymn. At the end of each verse we repeat, "Comforter Divine", and that is a wonderful way to describe God's love for us. This hymn reminds us that although we are weak, lost, sinful... God is light in all of our darkness. 🙏 🩷
P.s. Baby chicks and Christmas in July at my mom's residence. Fun!

1 Come to our poor nature's night,
With thy blessed inward light,
Holy Ghost, the Infinite,
Comforter Divine.
2 We are sinful - cleanse us, Lord;
Sick and faint - thy strength afford;
Lost - until by thee restored,
Comforter Divine.
3 Like the dew thy peace distil;
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter Divine.
4 With us, for us, intercede,
And, with voiceless groanings, plead
Our unutterable need,
Comforter Divine.
[5 In us Abba, Father! cry,
Earnest of the bliss on high,
Seal of immortality,
Comforter Divine.]
6 Search for us the depths of God;
Upwards by the starry road,
Bear us to thy high abode,
Comforter Divine.
