Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove

by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 269.

Verse 1

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours.

Verse 2

O raise our thoughts from things below, From vanities and toys! Then shall we with fresh courage go To reach eternal joys.

Verse 3

Awake our souls to joyful songs; Let pure devotions rise; Till praise employs our thankful tongues, And doubt forever dies.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Savior’s love, And that shall kindle ours.
