Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

GRAFENBERG (C.M.) Johann Cruger (1598-1662) Alternate tunes: 1 | 2

Come, Ho-ly Spi-rit, heav'n-ly Dove,
   With Your life giv-ing pow'rs;
Kin-dle a flame of sa-cred love
   In these cold hearts of ours.

In vain we tune our for-mal songs,
   In vain we strive to rise;
Ho-san-nas lan-guish on our tongues,
   And our de-vo-tion dies.

Dear Lord, and shall we ev-er live
   At this poor dy-ing rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to You,
   And Yours to us so great!

Come, Ho-ly Spi-rit, heav'n-ly Dove,
   With Your life giv-ing pow'rs;
Come, shed a-broad the Sa-vior's love
   And that shall kin-dle ours.
