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.
Stanzas 2-3 available in purchased product; omitted in free on-line demo
4 And so the yearning strong,
With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the pow'r of human telling;
No soul can guess his grace
Till it become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.
