269 - Come, Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2
O raise our thoughts from things below,
From vanities and toys;
Then shall we with fresh courage go
To reach eternal joys.
3
Awake our souls to joyful songs;
Let pure devotion rise;
Till praises employs our thankful tongues,
And doubt forever dies.
4
Father, we would no longer live
At this poor dying rate;
To Thee our thankful love we give,
For Thine to us is great!
5
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad the Savior’s love
And that shall kindle ours.
