1. Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine within this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.
2. Holy Ghost, with pow'r divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long hath sin, without control,
Held dominion o'er my soul.
3. Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
4. Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down ev'ry idol-throne,
Reign supreme--and reign alone.
