1 Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.

Turn my 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.

Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;

From sin's bondage set me free.

Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down every idol-throne,
Reign supreme and reign alone.
