Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness

Holy Ghost

dis­pel our sad­ness;

Pierce the clouds of na­ture’s night;

Come

great Source of joy and glad­ness

Breathe Your life

and spread Your light.

From the height which knows no mea­sure

As a gra­cious show­er des­cend

Bringing down the rich­est trea­sure

Man can wish

or God can send.

Author of the new cre­ation

Come with bless­ing and with pow­er.

Make our hearts your ha­bi­ta­tion;

On our souls Your grac­es show­er.

Hear

O hear our sup­pli­ca­tion

Blessèd Spir­it

God of peace!

Rest upon this con­gre­ga­tion

With the full­ness of Your grace.
