Verse 1

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers,--
Kindle a flame of sacred love,
In these cold hearts of ours.

Verse 2

Look--how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys!
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys.

Verse 3

In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.

Verse 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?

Verse 5

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Savior’s love,
And that shall kindle ours.

Verse 1

Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness;
Pierce the clouds of nature’s night;
Come, thou Source of joy and gladness,
Breathe thy life, and spread thy light.

Verse 2

From the height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.

Verse 3

Author of the new creation,
Come with unction and with power;
Make our hearts thy habitation;
On our souls thy graces shower.

Verse 4

Hear, O hear our supplication,
Blessed Spirit, God of peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With the fullness of thy grace.
