Spirit divine, attend our prayer

Hymnal: BW1867 #108 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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.

Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness

Hymnal: BW1867 #112 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness, Pierce the clouds of sinful night: Come, Thou Source of all our gladness, Breathe Thy life and spread Thy light; Loving Spirit, God of peace, Great distributor of grace, Rest upon this congregation!

Oh Thou Glory, shining down From the Father and the Son, Grant us Thine illumination; Rest on all this congregation. 3 Come, Thou best of all donations God can give, or we implore; Having Thy sweet consolations, We need wish for nothing more: Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, Now descending from above, Rest on all this congregation, Make our hearts Thy habitation.

Longing for our Heavenly Home

Hymnal: BW1867 #117 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Zion! when I think of Thee Lyrics: 1 O Zion! when I think of Thee, I wish for pinions like a dove, And mourn to think that I should be So distant from the place I love. 2 An exile here, and far from home, For Zion's sacred walls I sigh; Thither the ransomed nations come, And see the Saviour eye to eye. 3 While here I walk on hostile ground, The few that I can call my friends, Are like myself, with fetters bound, And weariness our steps attends. 4 But yet we shall behold the day When Zion's children shall return; Our sorrows then shall flee away, And we shall never, never mourn. 5 The hope that such a day will come Makes e'en the exile's portion sweet; Though now we wander far from home, In Zion soon we all shall meet.
