Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire
C. M.
1
Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,Let us thine influence prove;Source of the old prophetic fire,Fountain of life and love.
2
Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by thee,The prophets wrote and spoke;Unlock the truth, thyself the key,Unseal the sacred book.
3
Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,Brood o'er our nature's night;On our disordered spirits move,And let there now be light.
4
God, through himself, we then shall know,If thou within us shine;And sound, with all thy saints below,The depths of love divine.
