Holy Spirit, Source of Gladness

Holy Spir­it

source of glad­ness

Come with all Thy ra­di­ance bright;

O’er our wea­ri­ness and sad­ness

Breathe Thy life and shed Thy light!

Send us Thine il­lu­mi­na­tion

Banish all our fears at length;

Rest up­on this con­gre­ga­tion

Spirit of un­fail­ing strength.

Let that love which knows no mea­sure

Now in quick­en­ing show­ers des­cend

Bringing us the rich­est trea­sures

Man can wish or God can send;

Hear our ear­nest sup­pli­ca­tion

Every strug­gling heart re­lease;

Rest up­on this con­gre­ga­tion

Spirit of un­trou­bled peace!
