Come Down, O Love Divine!
Author: Richard F. Littledale Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Appears in 109 hymnals Matching Instances: 75 First Line: Come down, O Love divine Lyrics: 1 Come down, O love divine! Seek out 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 make my pathway clear, by your illuming.
3 Let holy charity my outward vesture be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart which takes the humbler part,
and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong with which the soul will long
shall far surpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace till we become the place
in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Hymn for a Wedding
Hail, harbinger of morn
Author: The Venerable Bede, 673-735; Charles Stewart Calverly, 1831-1884 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Hail, harbinger of morn:
thou that art this day born,
and heraldest the Word with clarion voice!
Ye faithful ones, in him
behold the dawning dim
of the bright day, and let your hearts rejoice.
2 John – by that chosen name
to call him Gabriel came
by God's appointment from his home on high:
what deeds that babe should do
to manhood when he grew,
God sent his angel forth to testify.
3 There is none greater, none,
than Zechariah's son;
than this no mightier prophet hath been born:
of prophets he may claim
more than a prophet's fame;
sublimer deeds than theirs his brow adorn.
4 'Lo, to prepare thy way,'
did God the Father say,
'before thy face my Messenger I send,
thy coming to forerun;
as on the orient sun
doth the bright Daystar morn by morn attend.'
5 Praise therefore God most high;
praise him who came to die
for us, his Son that liveth evermore;
and to the Spirit raise,
the Comforter, like praise,
while time endureth, and when time is o'er. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. John the Baptist Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
