Author: Andrew Reed Hymnal: The Hymnal #202 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come!
Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe,
And lead us in those paths of life
Whereon the righteous go.
Come as the fire, and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's Name.
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.
Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!
Amen.
