1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious powers;
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 a 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 fertilising power.

5 Come as the dove, and spread thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let thy host on earth become
Blest as the host above.
