seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;

to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let its glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

for which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
