Come down, O Love divine

Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Fire / Flame Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with your own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 Oh let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes in its heat consuming, and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight, and clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity mine outward vesture be, and lowliness become mine inner clothing, true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part, and pride in earthly glory scorns with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, with 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.
