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