Come, Holy Spirit, Dove divine

1

Come, Holy Spirit, Dove divine,On these baptismal waters shine,And teach our hearts, in highest strain,To praise the Lamb for sinners slain.

2

We love thy name, we love thy laws,And joyfully embrace thy cause;We love thy cross, the shame, the pain,O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

3

We sink beneath the mystic flood;O bathe us in thy cleansing blood!We die to sin, and seek a graveWith thee, beneath the yielding wave;

4

And, as we rise, with thee to live,O let the Holy Spirit giveThe sealing unction from above,The breath of life, the fire of love.
