Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #117b (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
let us thine influence prove;
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of life and love.
2 Come, Holy Ghost - for, moved by thee,
thy prophets wrote and spoke -
unlock the truth, thyself the key,
unseal the sacred book.
3 Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
brood o'er our nature's night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.
4 God, through himself, we then shall know,
if thou within us shine;
and sound, with all thy saints below,
the depths of love divine. Topics: Year A Baptism of Christ; Year A Second Sunday Before Lent; Year A Pentecost; Year B Baptism of Christ; Year C Baptism of Christ; Year C Proper 24; Confirmation; Gradual Hymn; Pentecost Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: CREDITON
