paroles de chanson Come Down O Love Divine - Fernando Ortega

Come down, O love divine
Seek Thou this soul of mine
And visit it with Thine own ardor glowing
O Comforter, draw near
Within my heart appear
And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing

O let it freely burn
'Til 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 illumine

Let holy charity
Mine outward vesture be
And lowliness become mine inner clothing
True lowliness of heart
Which takes the humbler part
And o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing

And so the yearning strong
With which the soul will long
Shall far out-pass the power of human telling
For none can guess its grace
'Til he become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling
