Introduction: C F
C F C Am F G
Come down, O love divine, seek Thou this soul of mine,
Dm F G- C
And visit it with Thine own ardor glowing.
F C/E Gm Dm C- G
O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear,
C/E F G- C? F(x2)
And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing.
C F C Am F G
O let it freely burn, til earthly passions turn
Dm F G- C
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming
F C/E Gm Dm- C- G
And let Thy glorious light shine ever on my sight,
C/E F G C? F(x2)
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
C F C Am F G
Let holy charity mine outward vesture be,
Dm F G- C
And lowliness become mine inner clothing
F C/E Gm Dm- C- G
True lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part,
C/E F G C? F(x2)
And o?er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
C F C Am F G
And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long,
Dm F G? C
Shall far out-pass the power of human telling
F C/E Gm Dm- C- G
For none can guess its grace, till he become the place
C/E F G C? F(x2) C
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling.
