108. Spirit divine, attend our prayer

1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers;
Oh come, great Spirit, come.

2 Come as the light--to us reveal
Our sinfulness 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 every soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as the dove, and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love,
And let the church on earth become
Blest as the church above.
