Author: | C. Wesley, 1707-1788 |
Tune: | ST. MARTIN'S |
Composer: | William Tansur, 1700-1783 |
1 Come, Holy Spirit, our hearts inspire,
Let us Thine influence prove;
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of Light 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.
