Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine

559 Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine

1 Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine,
   On these baptismal waters shine,
   And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
   To praise the Lamb, for sinners slain.

2 We love Thy name, we love Thy laws,
   And joyfully embrace Thy cause;
   We love Thy cross, the shame, the pain,
   O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

3 We sink beneath Thy mystic flood;
   O bathe us in Thy cleansing blood;
   We die to sin, and seek a grave,
   With Thee, beneath the yielding wave.

4 And as we rise, with Thee to live,
   O let the Holy Spirit give
   The sealing unction from above,
   The breath of life, the fire of love.
