Holy Spirit, Light Divine
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A classic invitational hymn by Andrew Reed (1787–1862) calling the Holy Spirit to illuminate, cleanse, and comfort the human heart. Each verse addresses the Spirit by a different title—Light, Power, and Joy—while the singer confesses unworthiness and pleads for transformation.
Verse 1
Holy Spirit, light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine,
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.
Verse 2
Holy Spirit, power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long has sin, without control,
Held dominion o'er my soul.
Verse 3
Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine,
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.
Verse 4
Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine,
Cast down every idol throne,
Reign supreme, and reign alone.
