1. Come Holy Spirit, heav’nly dove,
With all thy quick’ning pow’rs;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2. Lookâhow 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, and shall we 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, heav’nly dove,
With all thy quick’ning pow’rs;
Come shed abroad a Savior’s love,
And that shall kindle ours.
