1 Holy Spirit, Light divine,
shine upon this heart of mine;
chase the shades of night away,
turn my darkness into day.
2 Holy Spirit, Power divine,
cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
long has sin without control
held dominion o'er my soul.
3 Holy Spirit, 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 every idol throne,
reign supreme, and reign alone.
