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, Truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.
3 Holy Spirit, Love divine,
glow within this heart of mine;
kindle ev'ry high desire;
perish self in Thy pure fire.
4 Holy Spirit, Joy divine,
cheer this saddened heart of mine;
bid my many woes depart,
heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
5 Holy Spirit, Pow'r divine,
dwell within this heart of mine;
cast down ev'ry idol throne;
reign supreme, and reign alone.
