Author: | Andrew Reed (1787-1862) |
Tune: | BILLING |
Composer: | Richard Runciman Terry (1865-1938) |
1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
and make this house thy home;
descend with all thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!
2 Come as the light: to us reveal
our emptiness and woe;
and lead us in those paths of life
where all the righteous go.
3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts
like sacrificial flame;
let our whole soul an offering be
to our Redeemer's name.
4 Come as the Dove, and spread thy wings,
the wings of perfect love;
and let thy church on earth become
blest as the church above.
5 Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
make a lost world thy home;
descend with all thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!
