COME, HOLY SPIRIT
Robert Hawker, “Come, Holy Spirit,” in Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans, ed. Robert Elmer (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2019), 47.
Come, Holy Spirit, with all your sweet and precious favor. Come, Lord, to convince and comfort me, to humble and direct me, to chill my affections to the world, and to warm them toward the Lord Jesus.
Come, you holy, gracious, almighty reviver and restorer—and glorifier of my God and Savior!
Cause the graces you have planted in my soul to go forth in a way of love and desire, faith and expectation. Let me hope in the person and glory of the one my soul loves. Then I will cry out with the church, “Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat of his pleasant fruits.” Amen!
Much has been written about the Holy Spirit and His role as part of the Triune God of the universe.
For example here are 100 Verses about Jesus sending the Holy Spirit. Or maybe you prefer these 100 Bible Verses about the Coming Of The Holy Spirit. Next, there are these 100 Bible Verses about the Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit.
Finally, there is the matter of How Do We Pray in the Spirit? Does this mean our prayers are divinely supercharged by the indwelling Spirit? The short answer is no, but read The article with John Piper above.
The title of this post is Come, Holy Spirit Come, which was taken from the quote by Robert Hawker above, but the theme is prayer. That quote comes from a book entitled Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans. I hope in the coming weeks, to explore all of the recorded C.H. Spurgeon prayers.
