1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness,
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.
