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
Where all 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 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.
