Text: | Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove |
Author: | Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
Tune: | SAINT AGNES |
Composer: | John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-1876 |
1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all thy quickening powers;
kindle a flame of sacred love
in these cold hearts of ours.
2 See how we trifle here below,
fond of these earthly toys:
our souls, how heavily they 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 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all thy quickening powers;
come, shed abroad a Savior's love,
and that shall kindle ours.
