Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness
Paul Gerhardt·Post-Reformation
Verse 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.
Verse 2
From the height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
Verse 3
Author of the new creation,
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts thy habitation;
On our souls thy graces shower.
Verse 4
Hear, O hear our supplication,
Blessed Spirit, God of peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With the fullness of thy grace.
Paul Gerhardt, “Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness”
