  1. Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
    And make this house 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
    Whereon 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. Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
    Make a lost world thy home;
    Descend with all thy gracious powers;
    O come, great Spirit, come! Amin.
