Come down, O Love divine
Author: R. F. Littledale, 1833-1890; Bianco da Siena, d. 1434 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardour 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
mine 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 outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Topics: Epiphany II Year C; Third Sunday Before Lent Year C; Pentecost Year B; Proper 6 Year A; Proper 25 Year C Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5 Used With Tune: NORTH PETHERTON
