535. Spirit Divine, Inspire Our Prayers

1 Spirit divine, inspire our prayer,
And make this house your home;
Descend with all your gracious pow'r;
Come, Holy 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 cleanse our hearts
With purifying flame;
Let all our lives an off'ring be
To our Redeemer's name.

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

5 Come as the wind, with rushing sound
And Pentecostal grace,
That all the human race may see
The glory of your face.

6 Spirit divine, accept our prayer,
And make this world your home;
Descend with all your gracious pow'r;
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
