Author: Paul Gerhardt; Augustus M. Toplady; John Christian Jacobi Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #246 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness,
Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, thou source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe thy life, and spread they light.
Loving Spirit, God of peace,
Great distributor of grace,
Rest upon this congregation;
Hear, O hear our supplication.
2 From that height which knows no measure,
As a gracious show'r descend;
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
O thou Glory, shining down
From the Father and the Son,
Grant us thine illumination;
Rest upon this congregation.
3 Come, thou best of all donations
God can give, or we implore;
Having thy sweet consolations
We need wish for nothing more.
Come with unction and with pow'r,
On our souls thy graces show'r;
Author of the new creation,
Make our hearts thy habitation.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Illuminator; Holy Spirit Indwelling; Holy Spirit Prayers to; Holy Spirit Regenerator Scripture: Romans 14:17 Languages: English Tune Title: PSALM 42 (COBLENTZ)
