Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Christian Jacobi; Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #330 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Year Written: 1648 Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness,
pierce the clouds of sinful night;
come, O source of sweetest gladness,
breathe your life and spread your light.
Loving Spirit, God of peace,
great distributor of grace,
rest upon this congregation;
hear, O hear our supplication.
2 From that height which knows no measure,
as a gracious show'r descend;
bringing down the richest treasure
man can wish or God can send.
Heav'nly Glory, shining down
from the Father and the Son,
grant us your illumination;
rest upon this congregation.
3 Come, O best of all donations
God can give, or we implore;
having your sweet consolations
we need wish for nothing more.
Come with unction and with pow'r,
on our souls our graces show'r;
author of the new creation,
make our hearts your habitation. Topics: Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Prayers to; Holy Spirit Regenerator Scripture: Romans 14:17 Languages: English Tune Title: PSALM 42 (COBLENTZ)

Comfort, Comfort You My People
Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #3 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Year Written: 1671 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort you my people,
Tell of peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness
Bowed beneath oppression's load.
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell them that their sins I cover,
And their warfare now is over.
2 For the herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding us to make repentance
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise in meeting
And the hills bow down in greeting.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain:
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits God's holy reign,
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That God's word is never broken.

Light of light, eternal Word,
Soul and body’s preservation
I commit to Thee, O Lord.
My Redeemer, dwell in me;
Let me sleep and wake with Thee,
And receive Thy benediction
Both in joy and in affliction.
2 Ere I close my eyes in slumber,
While to rest I lay me down,
Let my grateful heart remember
All the mercies Thou hast shown;
Fill my soul with sacred love;
Let me dream of things above;
And bestow on me the favor
Of Thy presence, gracious Savior.
3 Pardon, Jesus, each transgression,
Whether open or unknown,
Thus removing that oppression
Under which I else should groan;
I confess the guilt of sin,
But Thy blood can make me clean;
Hear, O Lord, my supplication;
Grant me joy and consolation. Topics: Public Worship Evening Languages: English Tune Title: COBLENTZ
