Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove

1

Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,With all thy quickening powers;Kindle a flame of sacred loveIn these cold hearts of ours.

2

O raise our thoughts from things below,From vanities and toys!Then shall we with fresh courage goTo reach eternal joys.

3

Awake our souls to joyful songs;Let pure devotions rise;Till praise employs our thankful tongues,And doubt forever dies.

4

Father, we would no longer liveAt this poor, dying rate,To thee our thankful love we give,For thine to us is great.

5

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,With all thy quickening powers;Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,And that shall kindle ours.
