1.
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 praise employs our thankful tongues,
And doubt forever dies.
4.
Father, we would no longer live
At this poor, dying rate;
To thee our tankful love we give,
For thine to us is great.
5.
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad the Saviour's love
And that shall kindle ours.
