Hymn
Holy Spirit, Light Divine
Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine,
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn the darkness into day.
Let me see my Saviour’s face,
Let me all His beauties trace;
Show those glorious truths to me
Which are only known to Thee.
Holy Ghost, with power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
In Thy mercy pity me,
From sin's bondage set me free.
Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Yield a sacred, settled peace,
Let it grow and still increase.
Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down every idol throne,
Reign supreme, and reign alone.
See, to Thee I yield my heart;
Shed Thy life through every part,
A pure temple I would be,
Wholly dedicate to Thee.
Amen.
