- 1Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
- With all Thy quick'ning pow'rs;
- Kindle the flame of sacred love
- In these cold hearts of ours.
- 2Look how we grovel here below,
- Fond of these earthly toys;
- Our souls, how heavily they go,
- To reach eternal joys!
- 3Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
- At this poor, dying rate?
- Our love so cold, so faint to Thee,
- And Thine to us so great?
- 4Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
- With all Thy quick'ning pow'rs;
- Come, shed abroad the Savior's love,
- And that shall kindle ours.
- 5Amen.
