392. Holy Spirit, Light Divine

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, Pow'r divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine.
Long hath 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.
