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 the water's face,  
And thank Thee for Thy saving grace;  
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 joy of life, the fire of love.
