SPIRIT divine, attend our prayers, And make our hearts 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 dove; and spread Thy wings, The wings of peaceful love; And let Thy Church on earth become Blest as the Church above.
Come as the wind; with rushing sound And all-inspiring grace; That needy sinners here may see The glory of Thy face.
Spirit divine, attend our prayers, Make this lost world Thy home; Descend with all Thy gracious powers, O come, great Spirit, come.
Andrew Reed, 1787-1862
