Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434 Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #289 (1995) Meter: 6.6.11 D Lyrics: 1 Come forth, O Love divine,
seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
For none can guess its grace,
till love create a place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Illuminator; Pentecost Day of; Pentecost Hymns of the Spirit; Year A Easter 6; Year A Pentecost; Year B Pentecost; Year C Pentecost Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY
