- 1Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,
- And make our hearts Thy home;
- Descend with all Thy gracious pow'r;
- O come, great Spirit, come.
- 2Come as the light--to us reveal
- Our sinfulness and woe,
- And lead us in the paths of life,
- Where all the righteous go.
- 3Come as the fire and purge our hearts
- Like sacrificial flame;
- Let ev'ry soul an off'ring be
- To our Redeemer's name.
- 4Come as a dove and spread Thy wings,
- The wings of peaceful love,
- And let the Church on earth become
- Blest as the Church above.
- 5Amen.
