269 – Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

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 devotions 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 thankful love we give,

For Thine to us is great.

5

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,

With all Thy quickening powers;

Come, shed abroad a Savior’s love,

And that shall kindle ours.
