Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #161 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all Thy quick'ning powers,
And light a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 See 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 lifeless songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers,
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Quinquagesima; Pentecost (Whitsunday); Prayer for Love; Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: BELMONT
