Lyrics

Come down, O love divine, seek Thou this soul of mine,
O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear,
Oh kindle it, Thy holy flame within.

O let it freely burn, til earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its flame;
And let Thy glorious light shine on me
And light my path and guide me through life's night.
