The Voice of Praise ‎#274

274. Holy Ghost! dispel our sadness!

1 Holy Ghost! dispel our sadness!
Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, thou source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe thy Life, and spread thy Light.

2 From that height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Men can wish or God can send.

3 Known to thee are all recesses
Of the earth and spreading skies;
Every sand the shore possesses,
Thy omniscient mind descries.
