Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Come, descend, O heav'nly Spirit,
Fan, each spark into a flame;
Blessings let us now inherit,
Blessings that we cannot name:
Whilst Hosannas we are singing,
May our hearts in rapture move,
Fell new grace in them still springing,
Breathe the air of purest love.
2 Let us fail in grace's ocean
Float on that unbounded sea,
Guided into pure devotion,
Kept from paths of error free:
On thy heav'nly manna feeding,
Skreen'd from ev'ry envious foe;
Love, O love for sinners bleeding
All for thee we would forego.
3 Keep us, Lord, still in communion,
Daily nearer drawn to thee;
Sinking in the sweetest union
Of that heart-felt mystery:
Keep us safe from each delusion,
Well protected from all harm;
Free from sin and all confusion,
Circle us within thine arms. Languages: English
Come, descend, O heav'nly Spirit
