\nCome down, O Love divine, seek thou this soul of mine
\nand visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
\nO Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear,
\nand kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.<\/p>\n
2
\nO let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn
\nto dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
\nand let thy glorious light shine ever on my sight,
\nand clothe me round, the while my path illuming.<\/p>\n
3
\nLet holy charity Mine outward vesture be,
\nAnd lowliness become my inner clothing;
\nTrue lowliness of heart which takes the humbler part,
\nAnd o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.<\/p>\n
4
\nAnd so the yearning strong with which the soul will long
\nshall far outpass the power of human telling;
\nfor none can guess its grace, till Love create a place
\nwherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
