Hymn 377
Spirit divine, attend our prayers
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: Eph. 5:9
1
Spirit divine, attend our prayers
And make this house Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious pow'rs,
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 dew, and sweetly bless
This consecrated hour;
May barrenness rejoice to own
Thy fertilizing pow’r.
5
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.
6
Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious pow’rs;
O come, great Spirit, come.
