Intro: C – F (x2)

C             F      C     Am             F       G
Come down, O love divine, seek Thou this soul of mine,
     Dm             F              G - C
And visit it with Thine own ardor glowing.
F                  C/E   Gm       Dm  - C - G
O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear,
    C/E             F             G - [ C – F (x2) ]
And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing.

C       F       C      Am          F        G
O let it freely burn, til earthly passions turn
    Dm            F               G - C
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
F                     C/E    Gm      Dm - C - G
And let Thy glorious light shine ever on my sight,
C/E                        F              G [ C – F (x2) ]
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

C          F  C   Am           F       G
Let holy charity mine outward vesture be,
      Dm         F                G - C
And lowliness become mine inner clothing;
F                  C/E     Gm             Dm - C - G
True lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part,
    C/E                F                   G [ C – F (x2) ]
And o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

C           F          C     Am             F         G
And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long,
       Dm               F              G – C
Shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
F                       C/E    Gm        Dm - C - G
For none can guess its grace, till he become the place
    C/E            F               G   [ C – F (x2) ]   -  C
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling.
