American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#461

461. Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

1 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all Thy quick'ning pow'rs;
Kindle the flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.

2 Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys;
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys!

3 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor, dying rate?
Our love so cold, so faint to Thee,
And Thine to us so great?

4 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all Thy quick'ning pow'rs;
Come, shed abroad the Savior's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

Amen.
