Together in Song ‎#403

403. Come, Holy Spirit, Lord of grace

1 Come, Holy Spirit, Lord of grace,
eternal fount of love,
inflame, we pray, our inmost hearts
with fire from heaven above.

2 As you in bonds of love unite
the Father and the Son,
so fill us all with mutual love
and knit our hearts in one.
