Author: Andrew Reed (1787-1862) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #260 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
and make this house thy home;
descend with all thy 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 thy wings,
the wings of perfect love;
and let thy church on earth become
blest as the church above.
5 Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
make a lost world thy home;
descend with all thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come! Topics: Church Ministry; Church Worship; Church Year Pentecost; Discipleship; Holy Spirit Invocation of; Holy Spirit names and images for; Pentecost and the Work of the Holy Spirit; Prayer Scripture: John 16:8-11 Languages: English Tune Title: BILLING
