Hymn 277
Spirit divine, attend our prayers
Ẹmi ọrun, gb’ adura wa
- Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come! - Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe,
And lead us in those paths of life
Whereon the righteous go. - Come as the fire and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's Name. - Come as the dew and sweetly bless
This consecrated hour;
May barrenness rejoice to own
Thy fertilizing power. - 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. - Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
Make a lost world thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come! Amin.
