: : : Come down, O Love divine,
: : : Seek thou this soul of mine,
: : : And visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
: : : O comforter, draw near,
: : : Within my heart appear,
: : : And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
: : : O let it freely burn,
: : : Till earthly passions turn
: : : To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
: : : And let thy glorious light
: : : Shine ever on my sight,
: : : And clothe me round, the while my path illuminating.
: : : Let holy charity
: : : Mine outward vesture be,
: : : And lowliness of heart,
: : : Which takes the humbler part,
: : : And over it1s shortcomings weeps with loathing
