463. Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayer

1 Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,
And make our hearts Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious pow'r;
O come, great Spirit, come.

2 Come as the light--to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe,
And lead us in the paths of life,
Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the fire and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;
Let ev'ry soul an off'ring be
To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as a dove and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love,
And let the Church on earth become
Blest as the Church above.

Amen.
