Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A classic invocation hymn by Isaac Watts (1707), calling the Holy Spirit to kindle sacred love and rouse cold hearts to joyful, devoted worship. One of Watts's most enduring texts on spiritual renewal.
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.
