515 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness

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. From the height which knows no measure, as a gracious shower descend, bringing down the richest treasure we can wish, or God can send.

2 Author of the new creation, come with unction and with power. Make our hearts thy habitation; with thy grace our spirits shower. Hear, oh, hear our supplication, blessed Spirit, God of peace! Rest upon this congregation, with the fullness of thy grace.
