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

Bless’d as the church above.

Spirit Divine, attend our prayers;

Make a lost world thy home;

Descend with all thy gracious powers,

O come Great Spirit, come.
