Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #253 (1890) 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 trifling 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, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers.
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's Love,
And that shall kindle ours. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Sexagesima Sunday; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Sunday after Ascension; Whit-Sunday; Tenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARY'S
