Richard Frederick Littledale Quote

Come down, O Love divine,
Seek thou this soul of mine,
And visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.

'Come down, O Love divine' (1867 hymn); translation of 'Discendi, Amor santo' by Bianco da Siena (c.1350–1434)
