248. Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all your quickening powers;
kindle a flame of sacred love
in these cold hearts of ours.

2 Hosannas languish on our tongues,
and our devotion dies.
Waken our souls to joyful songs;
let pure devotion rise.

3 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all your enlivening ways;
come, shed abroad the Savior’s love,
and teach our hearts to praise.
