by Henry Alline (1748 - 1784)
O for the spirit of the Dove
Language: English
O for the spirit of the Dove, To bow this heart of mine! Lord let my soul enjoy thy love, And find a peace divine. O for the meekness of the Lamb, To walk with thee, my God! Then should I feel thy lovely name, And feed upon thy word. Jesus, I long to love thee more, And life divine pursue; I love thy worship, name adore, In songs forever new.
