MHB 289 – SPIRIT divine, attend our prayers

Methodist-Hymns-289

1:  SPIRIT divine, attend our prayers
And make this house your home;
Descend with all your 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 the 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 fertilizing power.

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.

6:  Come as the wind, with rushing sound
And  pentecostal  grace,
That all of woman born may see
The glory of Thy face.

7:  Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come. Amen.
