Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#387

387. Holy Spirit, Light Divine

1 Holy Spirit, light divine,
Shine within 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.
