Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco of Siena, 15th cent.; Richard F. Littledale Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace 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 Thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the pow'r of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till they become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: Goerge Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
and make me love Thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no op'ning skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast Thou not bid me love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind.
I see Thy cross; there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek Thee, and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh,
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame;
the kindling of the heav'n-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. Scripture: Joel 2:28-29 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 207 hymnals Topics: Sanctifying Grace Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
taught by Thee, we covet most,
of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
holy, heav'nly love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long;
love is meek, and thinks no wrong;
love than death itself more strong;
therefore give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will ever with us stay;
therefore give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
hope be emptied in delight;
love in heav'n will shine more bright;
therefore give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see
joining hand in hand agree;
but the greatest of the three,
and the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
of Thy gold and silver wing
shed on us, who to Thee sing,
holy, heav'nly love. Scripture: John 14:23-27 Used With Tune: CAPETOWN
