Come, Holy Spirit, come;
Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the darkness from our minds,
And open all our eyes.
Cheer our desponding hearts,
Thou heav'nly Paraclete;
Give us to lie with humble hope
At our Redeemer's feet.
Revive our drooping faith;
Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flames
Of never dying love.
Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wond'ring view reveal
The secret love of God.
'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh love in every part,
And new create the whole.
Dwell, therefore, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;
Then we shall know and praise and love
The Father, Son, and Thee.
Joseph Hart, 1712-1768
Tune: Camberwell, Har. by Samuel S. Wesley, 1810-1876

So thankful for the Holy Spirit's light that dispels the darkness from my mind and opens my eyes. I'm thankful He continues to do that through all our days.
My devotions this week have all been on the Holy Spirit so this is a good conclusion to my week! Blessings...
