Poem from the book "Come away my beloved" by Frances J. Roberts:
Holy Spirt from above,
Tender, undefiled Dove,
In my spirit have Thy way,
O'er my actions hold full sway.
Blest Companion from on high,
In Thy comfort ever nigh;
Bind my heart to Christ in love,
O Thou precious, Heavenly Dove.
This cold heart and these dull eyes,
So unfit for Paradise,
Fire with Thy sacred flame,
Show the power of Jesus' Name.
Weak I in myself may be,
But my strength shall be in Thee.
Sweet provision of God's grace;
In Thy gift His love I trace.
I could not Thy coming earn,
Could no more Thy wooing spurn.
Take control and bless and use
As the Infinite shall choose.
