Author: Andrew Reed, 1787-1862 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #390 (1997) Scripture: Acts 2:2-3 Lyrics: 1 Spirit divine, inspire our prayers,
and make this house your home;
descend with all your gracious powers;
oh come, great Spirit, come.
2 Come as the light, reveal our need,
our hidden weakness show,
and lead us in those paths of life
where all the righteous go.
3 Come as the fire and purge each heart
like sacrificial flame;
our soul a holy offering be
to our Redeemer's name.
4 Come as the dew and sweetly bless
this consecrated hour;
may barren souls rejoice to know
your life-creating power.
5 Come as the dove and spread your wings,
the wings of peaceful love,
and let your church on earth become
one with the church above.
6 Come as the wind, with rushing sound
and pentecostal grace,
that all of woman born may see
the glory of your face.
7 Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
make our lost world your home;
descend with all your gracious powers;
oh come, great Spirit, come. Topics: Church; Dove; Fire / Flame; God the Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Power of; Light Languages: English Tune Title: GRÄFENBERG
