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.
