Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayer

Spirit di­vine

at­tend our pray­er

And make our heart Thy home;

Descend with all Thy gra­cious pow­er;

Come

Holy Spir­it

come.

Come as the light! to us re­veal

The truth we long to know;

Reveal the nar­row path of right

The way of du­ty show.

Come as the fire and purge our hearts

Like sac­ri­fi­cial flame

Till our whole souls an of­fer­ing be

To our Re­deem­er’s name.

Come as the dew

and sweet­ly bless

This con­se­crat­ed hour;

May bar­ren­ness re­joice to own

Thy fer­ti­liz­ing pow­er.

Come as the dove

and spread Thy wings

The wings of peace­ful love;

And let Thy Church on earth be­come

Blest as Thy Church ab­ove.

Come as the wind

O breath of God!

O Pen­te­cost­al grace!

Come

make Thy great sal­va­tion known

Wide as the hu­man race.

Spirit di­vine

at­tend our pray­er;

Make a lost world Thy home;

Descend with all thy gra­cious pow­ers

O come

great Spir­it

come.
