Hymns for Celebration ‎#6b

6b. Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire

1 Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us thine influence prove;
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.

2 Come, Holy Ghost, (for, moved by thee,
Thy 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.
