Hymn 210: Spirit Divine, attend our pray’rs

Verse 1

Spirit Divine, attend our pray’rs

And make our hearts Thy home:

Descend with all Thy gracious pow’rs.

O come, great Spirit, come.

 

 

Verse 2

Come as the light-to us reveal

Our need of Thee below:

And lead us in those paths of life

Where all the righteous go.

 

 

Verse 3

Come as the fire-and purge our [hearts

With sacrifcial flame;

Let our whole self an offering be

To our Redeemer’s name.

 

 

Verse 4

Come as the dew-and sweetly [bless

This consecrated hour;

May bareness rejoice to own

Thy fertilising power.

 

Verse 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.

 

 

Verse 6

Come as the wind-with rushing [sound

And pentecostal grace;

That all of woman born may see

The glory of Thy face.
