| Milgrove was Precentor of the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel in Bath. This setting comes from "Twelve hymns and a favourite lyric poem written by Doctor Watts; set to music for four, and five voices, with organ accompaniments. . . " Printed for the author, and sold at his house in Bond Street, Bath, 1781. The general congregation (sometimes divided into men and women) should sing the Air. |
| Lyrics: Augustus Toplady Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness, pierce the clouds of sinful night; Come, thou source of sweetest gladness, breathe thy life, and spread thy light! Loving Spirit, God of peace, great distributor of grace, Rest upon this congregation! Hear, O hear our supplication. From that height which knows no measure, as a gracious show'r descend; Bringing down the richest treasure man can wish or God can send. O Thou GLORY shining down from the FATHER and the SON, Grant us thy illumination! Rest upon this congregation. Come, thou best of all donations GOD can give, or we implore; Having thy sweet consolations, we need wish for nothing more: Come with unction and with pow'r, on our souls thy graces show'r; Author of our new creation, make our hearts thy habitation. Manifest thy love for ever; fence us in on ev'ry side; In distress be our reliever; guard and teach, support and guide: Let thy kind, effectual grace turn our feet from evil ways; Shew thyself our new creator and conform us to thy nature. Be our friend, on each occasion: GOD omnipotent to save! When we die be our salvation; when we're buried, be our grave: And, when from the grave we rise, take us up above the skies; Seat us with thy saints in glory, there for ever to adore thee. |
