509 Spirit divine, attend our prayers

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 whereon 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 peaceful 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!
