O gentle, sweet, and tender Love!
Greatest and best Thou art!
Thou comest on Thine angel-wing
Straight from our Father�s heart.
Spirit of Love, expand Thy wings,
Brood o�er my heart today;
Fill me with heav�nly tenderness
As now to Thee I pray.
God sendeth Thee,
His messenger,
From His bright home above;
And surely all that is of Thee
Are His, for �God is Love!�
Spirit of Love, expand Thy wings,
Brood o�er my heart today;
Fill me with heav�nly tenderness
As now to Thee I pray.
Faith leadeth us
through earthly life
Down to the gates of death:
There stays;
for where �they see His face�
They have no need of faith.
Spirit of Love, expand Thy wings,
Brood o�er my heart today;
Fill me with heav�nly tenderness
As now to Thee I pray.
Hope cometh to the threshold fair,
But cannot pass it o�er;
For there our hopes are all fulfilled,
For ever, evermore.
Spirit of Love, expand Thy wings,
Brood o�er my heart today;
Fill me with heav�nly tenderness
As now to Thee I pray.
But love goes through
the pearly gates
Into the city blest,
And flies on pinions swift and sure
Straight to our Father�s breast.
Spirit of Love, expand Thy wings,
Brood o�er my heart today;
Fill me with heav�nly tenderness
As now to Thee I pray.
