Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434; Richard F. Littledale, 1833-1890 Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #461 (2003) Meter: 6.6.11 D First Line: Come down, O Love divine 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 And so the yearning strong,
With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the pow'r of human telling;
For none can guess it's grace,
Till we become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY
