The Spirit Invoked

Philip Doddridge • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 60:8

Verse 1

Come, Sacred Spirit, from above, And fill the coldest heart with love; Soften to flesh the rugged stone, And let Thy god-like power be known.

Verse 2

Speak Thou, and from the haughtiest eyes Shall floods of pious sorrow rise; While all their glowing souls are borne To seek that grace which now they scorn.

Verse 3

O let a holy flock await, Numerous around Thy temple-gate, Each pressing on with zeal to be A living sacrifice to Thee.
