Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the darkness from our minds,
And open all our eyes.
2 Cheer our desponding hearts,
Thou heav'nly Paraclete;
Give us to lie with humble hope
At our Redeemer's feet.
3 Revive our drooping faith;
Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flames
Of never-dying love.
4 Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wond'ring view, reveal
The secret love of God.
5 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in ev'ry part,
And new create the whole.
6 Dwell, therefore, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;
Then we shall know and praise and love
The Father, Son, and Thee.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Illuminator; Holy Spirit Indwelling; Holy Spirit Invocation of; Holy Spirit Regenerator; Holy Spirit Teacher Scripture: John 15:26 Used With Tune: CAMBERWELL
