I was listening the the music shuffling through my iPhone this morning and this song came on via Brian Pinner’s CD, Cantate Domino (he has it there as “Breathing After the Holy Spirit.”) I love this melody. I hadn’t heard it in years, but it spoke to my heart this morning. I believe it is taken from or inspired by Romans 5:5 (NKJV): “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quick’ning powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
Dear Lord! and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to Thee,
And Thine to us so great!
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quick’ning powers;
Come, shed abroad the Savior’s love
And that shall kindle ours.
~ Isaac Watts, 1707

Thanks for the nice comment about Lauren’s wedding. It is a big church with over 5,000 regular attenders.
