• Lyrics:
  Holy Ghost, with light divine,
  Shine upon this heart of mine;
  Chase the shades of night away,
  Turn my darkness into day.
  
  Holy Ghost, with power divine,
  Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
  Long hath 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.
  
  
  • Andrew Reed (1787-1862), 1817
