3 Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove;
Brood o'er our nature's night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.

2 Come, Holy Ghost, for moved by Thee
Thy prophets wrote and spoke;
Unlock the truth, Thyself the key;
Unseal the sacred book.

And sound, with all Thy saints below,
The depths of love Divine.

'Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."'

COME

YOME, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire;
Let us Thine influence prove,

Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.

mf 4 God through Himself we then shall know

If Thou within us shine,

men.

'Come.. O breath, and breathe upon these.. that they may live.'

REATHE on me, Breath of God;
Fill me with life anew,

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire Divine.

Breathe on me, Breath of God;
So shall I never die,

But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.

Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter Divine.

Sick and faint,-Thy strength afford;
Lost, until by Thee restored,
Comforter Divine.

Make Thy temple in each breast;
There Thy presence be confessed,
Comforter Divine.
