Hymn: "Come, Holy Ghost, Our Hearts Inspire"
[words: red hymnal #225; tune: Antioch #294]

Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us thine influence prove;
Source of the old · prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love,
Fountain of life and love,
Fountain, fountain of life and love.

Come, Holy Ghost, for moved by Thee
The prophets wrote and spoke;
Unlock the truth, Thyself the key,
Unseal the sacred Book,
Unseal the sacred Book,
Unseal, unseal the sacred Book.

God, through Himself, we then shall know,
If Thou within us shine,
And sound, with all · Thy saints below,
The depths of love divine,
The depths of love divine,
The depths, the depths of love divine.
