574. Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayers

1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house your home;
Descend with all your 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 your wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let the church on earth become
Blest as the church above.

5 Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world your home;
Descend with all your gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!

Amen.
