Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #381 (1913) 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 Thy 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 shower 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 Thy illumination! Rest upon this congregation! 3 Known to Thee are all recesses Of the earth and spreading skies; Every sand the shore possesses Thy omniscient mind descries. Holy Fountain! wash us clean Both from error and from sin! Make us fly what Thou refusest, And delight in what Thou choosest! 4 Manifest Thy love for ever; Fence us in on every side; In distress be our reliever, Guard and teach, support and guide! Let Thy kind effectual grace Turn our feet from evil ways; Show Thyself our new creator, And conform us to Thy nature! 5 Be our friend on each occasion, God, omnipotent to save! When we die, be our salvation, When we're buried, be our grave! And, when from the grave we rise, Take us up above the skies, Seat us with Thy saints in glory, There for ever to adore Thee!
