The Descent of the Spirit. (369) 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 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 Blessed as the church above. 5 Come as the wind; with rushing sound And pentecostal grace; That all, of woman born, may see The glory of thy face. Andrew Reed, 1841.
