Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, 13??-1434; R. F. Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 116 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. Scripture: John 14:26 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
Come down, O Love divine
The Usefulness of the Scriptures
Author: Beddome Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: Pilar of fire First Line: When Israel thro' the desert pass'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel thro' the desert pass'd,
A fiery pillar went before,
To guide them thro' the dreary waste,
And lessen the fatigue they bore.
2 Such is thy glorious word, O God,
'Tis for our light and guidance given;
It sheds its lusture all abroad,
And points the path to bliss and heaven.
3 It fills the soul with sweet delight,
And quickens its inactive powers,
It sets our wandering footsteps right,
Displays thy love, and kindles ours.
4 Its promises rejoice our hearts,
Its doctrines are divinely true;
Knowledge and pleasure it imparts,
It comforts, and instructs us too.
5 Ye British isles, who have this word,
Ye saints, who feel its saving power,
Unite your tongues to praise the Lord,
And his distinguish'd grace adore. Scripture: Psalm 19

With inextinguishable blaze;
And trembling to its source return
In humble prayer and fervent praise.

To work, and speak, and think for Thee;
Still let me guard the holy fire,
And still stir up Thy gift in me.

Till death Thy endless mercies seal,

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1869 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 351 hymnals Topics: Fire / Flame 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 messenger, no opening 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:
oh let me seek thee and oh let me find.
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to face 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 baptism of the heaven descended Dove,
my heart an altar and thy love the flame. Scripture: Isaiah 11:2-3 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE
