158. Holy Ghost, with Light Divine

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 Saviour’s face,
Let me all His beauties trace;
Show those glorious truths to me
Which are only known to Thee.

3 Holy Ghost, with power 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.

6 See, to Thee I yield my heart;
Shed Thy life through every part,
A pure temple I would be,
Wholly dedicate to Thee.

Amen.
