Words
⤢ Full screenSpirit Divine, attend our prayer,And make our hearts thy home;Descend with all thy gracious power:Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Come as the light, to us revealOur sinfulness and woe,And lead us in those paths of lifeWhere all the righteous go.
Come as the fire, and purge our hearts,Like sacrificial flame;Let our whole soul an offering beTo our Redeemer's name.
Come as the wind, with rushing sound,With Pentecostal grace;And make the great salvation known,Wide as the human race.
Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,And make our hearts thy home;Descend with all thy gracious power:Come, Holy Spirit, come!
