Stokes Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: From the gloom of unbelief Refrain First Line: Hallelujah! light comes in Lyrics: 1 From the gloom of unbelief, Holy Spirit, hear my cry, Send to me thy sweet relief, Send, oh, send it, or I die; Send the gospel’s light and love, Send it quickly from above, Light of blessed hope and joy, Such as doubt can ne’er destroy. Refrain: Hallelujah! light comes in; Hallelujah! free from sin! Hallelujah! hope and joy Such as doubt can ne’er destroy. 2 Doubt dispelled and faith complete, Full of hope I travel on; Solid rock beneath my feet, Life eternal shall be won! Spirit, help me on my way, Spirit, help me ev’ry day; Then, if doubt or sin assail, With thy help I shall prevail. [Refrain] 3 Glory be to God on high, to the Father and the Son, And the Spirit; angels cry, Worship the Almighty One! Thus I worship ev’ry day; Blessed hope comes in to stay, Peace abides, a joyful guest, And my soul has perfect rest. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [From the gloom of unbelief]
