Christian Quotation of the Day

    -- Acts 4:31 (NIV)

Quotation:
    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 the paths of life
        Where all the righteous go.

    Come as the wind: sweep clean away
        What dead within us lies,
    And search and freshen all our souls
        With living energies.

    Come as the fire: and purge our hearts
        Like sacrificial flame;
    Let our whole soul as offering be
        To our redeemer’s name.

    Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
        Make a lost world thy home;
    Descend with all thy gracious powers:
        O come, great Spirit, come!
    ... Andrew Reed (1787-1862), 1829
