Spirit of God, our hearts inspire

Spirit of God, our hearts inspire,
let us your influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of light and love.

2. Come, Holy Spirit, Lord, by whom
the prophets wrote and spoke:
the key to all God’s truth, now come,
unseal the sacred book.

3. O spread your wings, celestial dove,
above our nature’s night,
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.

4. God, through himself, we then shall know,
if you within us shine,
and sound, with all your saints below,
the depths of love divine.
