ENGLISH LYRICS: Come down, O love Divine
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which given unto us. Rom 5:51. 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 for out pass the pow'r of human telling;
For none can guess its grace,
Till he become the place,
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes
His dwelling
Amen.
