[Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove]

The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. —i. 2.

Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove,
And brooding o'er my nature's night,
Call forth the ray of heavenly love,
Let there in my dark soul be light,
And fill the' illustrated abyss
With glorious beams of endless bliss.
