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

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

Verse 3

And shall we then for ever live At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to Thee, And Thine to us so great!

Verse 4

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad the Saviour’s love, And that shall kindle ours. Amen.
