Pierce the clouds of nature's night;
Come, Thou Source of joy and gladness,
Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light.
2 From the height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
3 Author of the new creation,
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts Thy habitation;
On our souls Thy graces shower.
4 Hear, O hear, our supplication,
Blessed Spirit! God of peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With the fulness of Thy grace. Topics: Comforter, Holy Ghost, the; Holy Spirit Comforter, the; The Godhead The Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Power of; Holy Spirit Witness of; Sadness, dispelled; Comforter, the; Holy Spirit Enlightening; Holy Spirit Indwelling Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE DIVINE
