The Signature of Divine Love

Verse 1

When shall I hear the inward voice, Which only faithful souls can hear? Pardon, and peace, and heavenly joys Attend the promised Comforter: He comes, and righteousness divine, And Christ, and all with Christ, is mine.

Verse 2

O that the Comforter would come, Nor visit as a transient guest; But fix in me His constant home, And keep possession of my breast, And make my soul His loved abode, The temple of indwelling God.

Verse 3

Come, Holy Ghost, my heart inspire; Attest that I am born again; Come, and baptize me now with fire, Or all Thy former gifts are vain. I cannot rest in sins forgiven; Where is the earnest of my heaven?

Verse 4

Where the indubitable seal, That ascertains the kingdom mine? The powerful stamp I long to feel, The signature of love divine: O shed it in my heart abroad, Fullness of love, of heaven, of God!
