Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire ; Let us Thine influence prove, Source of the old prophetic fire, Fountain of light and love.
2. Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by Thee, The prophets wrote and spoke ; Unlock the truth, Thyself the Key, Unseal the sacred book.
3. Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove, Brood o'er our nature's night ; On our disordered spirits move, And let there now be light.
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.
