The words
Verse 1. Spirit Divine! attend our prayers,
And make this house thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious powers,
Oh, come, great Spirit! come.
Verse 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.
Verse 3. Come as the fire; and purge our hearts,
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer’s name.
Verse 4. Come as the dove; and spread thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let thy church on earth become
Blessed as the church above.
Verse 5. Come as the wind; with rushing sound
And pentecostal grace;
That all, of woman born, may see
The glory of thy face.
