Not illustrated. 1875 Excerpt: ...Ghost, for moved by thee The prophets wrote and spoke: Unlock the truth, thyself the key; Unseal the sacred book. 3 Expand thy wings, Celestial Dove; Brood o 'er our nature's night; On our disorder'd spirits move, And let there now be light. 4 God, through himself, we then shall know, If thou within us shine; And sound, with all thy saints below, The depths of love divine. 173 (686) S.
