Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shade of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.
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.
Holy Ghost, with power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long has sin, without control,
Held dominion o’er my soul.
Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
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.
1. Holy Spirit, faithful Guide,
Ever near the Christian’s side;
Gently lead us by the hand,
Pilgrims in a desert land;
Weary souls fore’er rejoice,
While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whisp’ring softly, “Wand’rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
2. Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near Thine aid to lend,
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er.
Whisp’ring softly, “Wand’rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
3. When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heav’n and prayer,
Wond’ring if our names were there;
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood,
Whisp’ring softly, “Wand’rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
Holy Spirit, hear us;
Help us while we sing;
Breath into the music
Of the praise we bring.
Holy Spirit, shine Thou
On the Book we read;
Gild it’s holy pages
With the light we need.
Holy Spirit, prompt us
When we kneel to pray;
Nearer come, and teach us
What we ought to say.
Holy Spirit, help us
daily, by your might,
what is wrong to conquer,
and to choose the right.
Holy Spirit, teach us
through the words we read;
bring to life the Bible
with the light we need.
Holy Spirit, give us
each a lively mind;
make us more like Jesus,
gracious, pure and kind.
Come as once Thou camest
To the faithful few
Patiently awaiting
Jesus’ promise true.
Up to heaven ascending,
Our dear Lord has gone;
Yet His little children
Leaves He not alone.
To His blessed promise
Now in faith we cling.
Comforter, most holy,
Spread o’er us Thy wing.
Lighten Thou our darkness,
Be Thyself our Light;
Strengthen Thou our weakness,
Spirit of all might.
Spirit of Adoption,
Make us overflow
With Thy sevenfold blessing
And in grace to grow.
Into Christ baptized
Grant that we may be
Day and night, dear Spirit,
Perfected by Thee!
