210. Spirit Divine, attend our Prayers

1 SPIRIT Divine, attend our prayers,
And make our hearts Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come.

2 Come as the light—to us reveal
Our need of Thee below;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the fire—and purge our hearts
With sacrificial flame;
Let our whole self an offering be
To our Redeemer’s name.

4 Come as the dew—and sweetly bless
This consecrated hour;
May barrenness rejoice to own
Thy fertilising power,

5 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.

6 Come as the wind—with rushing sound
And pentecostal grace;
That all of woman born may see
The glory of Thy face.
