Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CXL (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quick'ning powers,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look how we grovel 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 Father, shall we then 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 quick'ning powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours. Topics: Rejoicing Languages: English
