Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, d. c. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let its glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the glory strong,
for which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Pentecost; Prayer and Meditation; Spirituality and Spiritual Growth Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Let the Whole Creation Cry
Author: Stopford Augustus Brooke, 1832-1916 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 83 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the whole creation cry,
"Glory be to God on high!"
Heaven and earth, awake and sing,
to your God your praises bring.
Sun and moon, uplift your voice,
night and stars, in God rejoice;
sunshine, darkness cloud, and storm,
rain and snow in praise perform.
2 Chant in honor, ocean fair;
earth, soft rushing through the air;
birds, with morn and dew elate,
sing with joy at heaven's gate.
Let the blossoms of the earth
join the universal mirth;
men and women, young and old,
raise the anthem manifold.
3 You to whom the arts belong,
add your voices to the song;
bards of knowledge and of law,
to the glorious circle draw.
From the north to southern pole
let the mighty chorus roll:
"Holy, holy, holy," crry;
"Glory be to God on high!"
