Holy Ghost, Come Down upon Thy Children (EN 2796)

EN 2796 Holy Ghost, Come Down upon Thy Children

Matt.3.16

Versi Version 1

Holy Ghost, come down upon Thy children,

Give us grace and make us Thine;

Thy tender fires within us kindle,

Blessed Spirit, Dove divine.

1

For all within us good and holy

Is from Thee, Thy precious gift;

In all our joys, in all our sorrows,

Wistful hearts to Thee we lift.

2

For Thou to us art more than Father,

More than sister, in Thy love,

So gentle, patient, and forbearing,

Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove.

3

O we have grieved Thee, gracious Spirit!

Wayward, wanton, cold are we;

And still our sins, new every morning,

Never yet have wearied Thee.

4

Ah! Sweet Consoler, though we cannot

Love Thee as Thou lovest us,

Yet if Thou deign’st our hearts to kindle

They will not be always thus.

5

With hearts so vile how dare we venture,

King of kings, to love Thee so?

And how canst Thou, with such compassion,

Bear so long with things so low?
