Come, Holy Ghost, Our Hearts Inspire

Verse 1

Come Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire, let us thine influence prove; source of the old prophetic fire, fountain of life and love.

Verse 2

Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by thee, thy prophets wrote and spoke: unlock the truth, thyself the key, unseal the sacred book.

Verse 3

Expand thy wings, celestial Dove, brood o'er our nature's night; on our disordered spirits move, and let there now be light.

Verse 4

God, through himself, we then shall know, if thou within us shine; and sound, with all thy saints below, the depths of love divine.
