Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayers

Andrew Reed (1829) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:2-4

Verse 1

Spirit divine, attend our prayer, And make this house your home; Descend with all your gracious pow'r; O 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 off'ring be To our Redeemer's name.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

Spirit divine, attend our prayer; Make a lost world your home; Descend with all your gracious pow'r; O come, great Spirit, come!
