p Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls can neither fly nor go To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. |
4 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to Thee, And Thine to us so great!
5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, And that shall kindle ours.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707 |

2 He came sweet influence to impart, 4
A gracious, willing guest, While He can find one humble heart Wherein to rest.
3 And His that gentle voice we hear, 5
Soft as the breath of even, [fear,
That checks each thought, that calms each And speaks of heaven. |
And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won, And every thought of holiness
Are His alone. Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see: O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place,
And worthier Thee.
Harriet Auber, 1820 |
