Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 235 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:5 Lyrics: 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 the Spirit we shall know,
if thou within us shine,
and sound, with all thy saints below,
the depths of love divine. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Illumination of God's Word; Scripture Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA (ERIN)
