Holy Ghost, with Light Divine

Tune: Canterbury · Meter 7 7 7 7

1 Holy Ghost, with light divine Shine upon this heart of mine; Chase the shades of night away, Turn the darkness into day.

2 Let me see my Savior's face, Let me all His beauties trace; Show those glorious truths to me Which are only known to Thee.

3 Holy Ghost, with pow'r divine Cleanse this guilty heart of mine; In Thy mercy pity me, From sin's bondage set me free.

4 Holy Ghost, with joy divine Cheer this saddened heart of mine; Yield a sacred, settled peace, Let it grow and still increase.

5 Holy Spirit, all divine, Dwell within this heart of mine; Cast down every idol- throne, Reign supreme, and reign alone.
