SPIRIT divine, attend our prayers,
   And make our hearts 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 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 dove; and spread Thy wings,
    The wings of peaceful love;
And let Thy Church on earth become
    Blest as the Church above.
 
5  Come as the wind; with rushing sound
    And all-inspiring grace;
That needy sinners here may see
    The glory of Thy face.
 
6  Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
    Make this lost world Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
    O come, great Spirit, come.
 
Andrew Reed, 1787-1862
