• Lyrics:
  Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
  With all Thy quick'ning powers;
  Kindle a flame of sacred love
  In these cold hearts of ours.
  
  Look how we grovel here below,
  Fond of these trifling toys;
  Our souls can neither fly nor go
  To reach eternal joys.
  
  In vain we tune our formal songs,
  In vain we strive to rise;
  Hosannas languish on our tongues,
  And our devotion dies.
  
  Dear Lord! and shall we ever live
  At this poor dying rate?
  Our love so faint, so cold to Thee,
  And Thine to us so great!
  
  Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
  With all Thy quick'ning powers;
  Come, shed abroad the Savior's love
  And that shall kindle ours.
