  1. Come down, O love divine

  3. .1
  4. Come down, O love divine,
  5. seek Thou this soul of mine
  6. and visit it with
  7. Thine own ardour glowing;
  8. O comforter, draw near,
  9. within my heart appear,
  10. and kindle it,
  11. Thy holy flame bestowing
  12. .2
  13. O let it freely burn,
  14. till earthly passions turn
  15. to dust and ashes,
  16. in its heat consuming;
  17. and let Thy glorious light
  18. shine ever on my sight,
  19. and clothe me round,
  20. the while my path illuming.
  21. .3
  22. Let holy charity
  23. mine outward vesture be,
  24. and lowliness become
  25. mine inner clothing;
  26. true lowliness of heart,
  27. which takes the humbler part,
  28. and o'er its own shortcomings
  29. weeps with loathing
  30. .4
  31. And so the yearning strong,
  32. with which the soul will long,
  33. shall far outpass
  34. the power of human telling;
  35. for none can guess its grace,
  36. till he become the place
  37. wherein the Holy Spirit
  38. makes his dwelling.
  39. .
