*Pastor’s Note: A.B. Simpson was a very well respected Canadian preacher, theologian and author who lived from December 15, 1843 to October 29, 1919. My prayer is that you will be blessed and inspired by his poetry as much as I am.
O HOLY GHOST, THOU BROODING DOVE
O holy ghost, Thou brooding Dove,
Thou’rt fluttering o’er my nestling soul,
With holy peace and wooing love,
And making all my being whole.
My spirit sings with joyful praise,
And laughs aloud with holy mirth,
As if some new and glorious life
Had just received its heavenly birth.
From distant heights and boundless depths
The living stream within me flows,
Flooding the garden of my heart,
Till every flower with fragrance blows.
Sometimes with breath of living flame
Thou dost my inmost soul inspire,
Till all my heart becomes one prayer
Of mighty faith and strong desire.
SEPTEMBER 12, 1907, on the forty-second anniversary of his ordination.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
