CALL

Let us worship the Living
God
AMEN

Today: “Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove”
1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening
powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours.
Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours.
2 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to
rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies.
Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies.
