3. Thou holy Fire, Source of rest, Grant that, with joy and hope possest, We always in Thy service stay And trouble drive us not away. Lord, by Thy power prepare each heart, To our weak nature strength impart That firmly here we be contending, Through life and death to Thee ascending. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! From the Latin _Veni, Sancte Spiritus_; Martin Luther, 1524. 258 S. M. Come, Holy Spirit, come! Let Thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2. Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love. 3. Convince us of our sin, Then lead to Jesus’ blood, And to our wondering view reveal The mercies of our God. 4. ’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life on every part, And new-create the whole. 5. Dwell, therefore, in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free; Then shall we know and praise and love The Father, Son, and Thee. Joseph Hart, 1759. 259 7s Holy Ghost, with light divine Shine upon this heart of mine; Chase the shades of night away, Turn the darkness into day. 2. Let me see my Savior’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. Andrew Reed, 1817. 260 9, 9, 11, 10, 4 Now do we pray God the Holy Ghost For the true faith which we need the most And that He defend us when life is ending And from exile home we shall be wending. Lord, have mercy! 2. Shine in our hearts, O most precious Light, That we Jesus Christ may know aright, Clinging to our Savior, whose blood has bought us, Who again to our true home has brought us. Lord, have mercy! 3. Thou sweetest Love, grace on us bestow, Set our hearts with heavenly fire aglow, That with hearts united we love each other, Of one mind, in peace with every brother. Lord, have mercy!
