Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

Melody - "St. Agnes," John Bacchus Dykes, 1866

Isaac Watts, 1707

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With Your life giving powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.

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

3. Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to You,
And Yours to us so great!

4. Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With Your life giving powers;
Come, shed abroad the Savior's love
And that shall kindle ours.
