Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove! With all thy quickening powers
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,218 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:7-9 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of heavenly love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look, how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Dear Lord! and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?
5 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; Invocation for Spiritual Help
Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove! With all thy quickening powers
Depth of mercy! can there be
Meter: Irregular Appears in 811 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:8 Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! can there be
Mercy still reserv'd for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
2 I have long withstood his grace:
Long provok'd him to his face;
Would not hearken to his calls;
Griev'd him by a thousand falls.
3 Kindled His relentings are,
Me he now delights to spare,
Cries, "How shall I give thee up?"
Lets the lifted thunder drop.
4 There for me the Saviour stands,
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands:
God is love! I know, I feel!
Jesus weeps, but loves me still!
5 Jesus answer from above:
Is not all thy nature love?
Wilt thou not the wrong forget?
Suffer me to kiss thy feet?
6 Now incline me to repent!
Let me now my fall lament!
Now my foul revolt deplore!
Weep, believe, and sin no more. Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning; Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:7-8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with rev'rence and with fear;
though weak and sinful in thy sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 Give deep humility, the sense
of godly sorrow give;
a strong dsiring confidence
to hear thy voice and live;
4 faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
on Christ, and Christ alone:
5 patience to watch, and wait, and weep
though mercy long delay;
courage, our fainting souls to keep
and trust thee though thou slay:
6 give these--and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we by thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright.
