Come, Holy Ghost, Our Hearts Inspire
Words: Charles Wesley · Music: Irish melody · 1740
Verse 1
Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
let us thine influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of life and love.
Verse 2
Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by thee,
thy prophets wrote and spoke:
unlock the truth, thyself the key,
unseal the sacred book.
Verse 3
Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
brood o'er our nature's night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.
Verse 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.
