Holy Ghost, with light divine

Author: Andrew Reed Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 778 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, with light divine, Shine upon this heart of mine; Chase the shade of night away, Turn the darkness into day. 2 Let me see my Saviour’s face, Let me all His beauties trace; Show those glorious truths to me Which are only known to Thee. 3 Holy Ghost, with power divine, Cleanse this guilty heart of mine; In Thy mercy pity me, From sin's bondage set me free. 4 Holy Ghost, with joy divine, Cheer this saddened heart of mine; Yield a sacred, settled peace; Let it grow and still increase. 5 Holy Spirit, all divine, Dwell within this heart of mine; Cast down every idol throne, Reign supreme, and reign alone. 6 See, to Thee I yield my heart; Shed Thy life through every part; A pure temple I would be, Wholly dedicate to Thee.

Flow thou to every nation, Nor in thy richness stay! Stay not till all the lowly, Triumphant, reach their home: Stay not till all the holy Proclaim: "The Lord is come!" Amen.

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord, to Thee. Multitudes, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hand. 2 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the Blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3 Marching with Thy Cross, their banner, They have triumphed following Thee, the Captain of Salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: SANCTUARY
