Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #210 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Kindle a 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 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 And shall we then for ever live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to Thee,
And Thine to us so great!
5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour’s love,
And that shall kindle ours.
AMEN. Topics: Pentecost/Praise to God, The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: ST MARTINS
