Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,217 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, With all Thy quick'ning pow'rs; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling 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 Dear Lord, and shall we 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, heav'nly Dove, With all Thy quick'ning powe's; Come, shed abroad a Savior's love, And that shall kindle ours.

Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

Author: Marcus M. Wells, 1815-1895 Appears in 679 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, Ever near the Christian's side Gently lead us by the hand, Pilgrims in a desert land; Weary souls fore'er rejoice, While they hear that sweetest voice, Whisp'ring softly, "Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I'll guide thee home." 2 Ever present, truest Friend, Ever near Thine aid to lend, Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear; When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er, Whisper softly, "Wanderer, come, Follow Me, I'll guide thee home." 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heav'n and prayer, Knowing that our names are there, Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus' blood, Whisper softly, "Wanderer, come, Follow Me, I'll guide thee home."

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Appears in 340 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart: Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own - soul, heart and strength and mind. I see the cross - there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek Thee, and O let me find. 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear - To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame: The baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove - My heart an altar and Thy love the flame.

Souls of Men, Why Will Ye Scatter

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-63 Appears in 133 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Souls of men, why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? 2 Was there ever kinder shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour Who would have us Come and gather round His feet? 3 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. 4 There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 5 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man’s mind. And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 6 If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would all be sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.
