Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.
Holy Ghost, with pow’r divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long hath sin without control
Held dominion o’er my soul.
Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
Holy Ghost, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down ev’ry idol throne,
Reign supreme and reign alone.
Andrew Reed, 1817
Read Romans 8:1-11
