Text: | Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove |
Author: | Watts |
Tune: | ST. MARY'S |
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.
