Come, Holy Spirit, Dove Divine

Adoniram Judson • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 3:16

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
