Text: | O Spirit come, our hearts inspire |
Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 |
Tune: | TALLIS' ORDINAL |
Composer: | Thomas Tallis, c. 1505-1585 |
1 O Spirit, come; our hearts inspire;
let us thine influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire
and fount of life and love.
2 Come, Holy Spirit, for in thee
thy 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 nght;
on our disordered spirit move,
and let there now be light.
4 God's very self we then shall know,
if thou within us shine,
and sound, with all thy saints
below the depths of love divine.
