Vaughan Williams: Come Down, O Love Divine

Lyrics

1 Come down, O Love divine,
 seek thou this soul of mine,
 and visit it with thine own ardor 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 And so the yearning strong,
 with which the soul will long,
 shall far outpass the power of human telling;
 for none can guess its grace,
 till Love create a place
 wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.
 United Methodist Hymnal, 1989
