Tune: Down Ampney
('Come down, O love divine')
******
Come to us, holy dove
Spirit of truth and love
Forgive where we have offended, pained you sore
Light fresh spark in our heart
Enlighten every part
Enliven us where our love for you be poor
Help us, give strength and grace
Unto all, every race
To follow on, leave self, follow on your way
May the path brighter be
As more of you we see
Endeavouring on constant to final day
It all consummated
Each soul for e'er sated
When Rapture comes, your return, for your people
And in these last day here
The end draws ever near
Lead us to share the gospel, all hear your call
Spirit, who dwells within
Purifies, forgives sin
By your love you choose to souls here inhabit
So having your mind we
Of earthly use can be
To bring others to you and be with you knit
Releasing potential
Of ministeries all
That you have deigned, appointed for each one here
More in your image grow
Each in the river's flow
Of living waters of your Spirit free, clear

Thanks STEVE for yet another uplifting HYMN & POEM ~ in this you sanctify MPS 24/7 as no other poet ! love the emphasis on the Holy Spirit ~ What always amazes me ~ with the emphasis on Holiness ~ is that we can grieve the Spirit & Quench the Spirit ~ BUT ~ He never leaves us ~ AMEN Please check "GIVE THANKS" and please add a Poem to my Holidays FUSION ~ while the offer lasts ~ YOURS BRIAN !
Thanks Brian. He (or She included too) never leaves us, but seems suppressed, or repressed (deeper than suppressed) in some folk - in me too at times. Bit psychological there, but I\'m not a psychologist or psychiatrist! You singing it 'moderately slow' as it says?! Or you may be thinking - how slow? how fast?!
Orchi/Steve,
I agree with Brian...
