404. O Spirit come, our hearts inspire

1 O Spirit, come; our hearts inspire;
let us thine influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire
and fount of life and love.

2 Come, Holy Spirit, for in 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 nght;
on our disordered spirit move,
and let there now be light.

4 God's very self we then shall know,
if thou within us shine,
and sound, with all thy saints
below the depths of love divine.
