1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 See, how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys!
Our souls, how heavily they go
To reach eternal joys!
3 Dear 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?
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
