C.M. [773]St. Agnes (Dykes): John Bacchus Dykes, 1866 Isaac Watts, 1707; Alt. Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. See how we grovel here below, Fond of these earthly toys: Our souls, how heavily they go, To reach eternal joys. In vain we tune our lifeless songs, In vain we strive to rise: Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Savior's love, And that shall kindle ours. Amen. |
