Lyrics:

SA: Come, Holy Spirit, heav’nly Dove, with all your quick’ning powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love in these cold hearts of ours.

SA: See how we trifle here below, fond of our earthly toys;
TB: ….Come, Holy Spirit, heav’nly Dove.

SA: Our souls, how heavily they go, to reach eternal joys.
TB: … Come, Holy Spirit, bring eternal joys.

All: In vain we tune our formal songs, in vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues, and our devotion dies.
Come, Holy Spirit.
