Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CXL (1791) First Line: Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove,
With all thy quick'ning 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 heavenly they go
To reach eternal joys!
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to raise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Father, shall we then 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 quick'ning powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours. Topics: Rejoicing Languages: English
