Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #348 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The New English Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us thine influence prove;
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.
2 Come, Holy Ghost--for, moved by 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 night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.
4 God, through himself, we then shall know,
If thou within us shine;
And sound, with all thy saints below,
The depths of love divine. Topics: Gradual; Pentecost or Whitsunday Languages: English Tune Title: CREDITON
Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire
