The Church Hymnal ‎#376

376. Spirit divine, attend our pray'rs

1 Spirit divine, attend our pray'rs,
And make this house Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious pow'rs,
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,
Whereon 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 peaceful 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 pow'rs,
O come, great Spirit, come!
