Although the text was written by Andrew Reed (b. St. Clement Danes, London, England, 1787; d. Hackney, London, 1862), it was published anonymously in the Evangelical Magazine, June 1829, with the heading "Hymn to the Spirit, Sung on the late Day appointed for solemn Prayer and Humiliation." The "late Day" referred to Good Friday of that year, which had been set aside by the Congregational clergy of London for prayer for "the renewal of religion in the British churches." The original text began "Spirit divine, attend our prayers" and had seven stanzas (st. 7 was a virtual repeat of st. 1), His stanzas 1-3 and 6 are included in modernized form.

Spirit Divine, attend our prayer. A. Reed. [Whitsuntide.] This hymn appeared, unsigned, in 7 stanzas of 4 lines, in the Evangelical Magazine for June 1829, with the heading, "Hymn to the Spirit. Sung on the late Day appointed for solemn Prayer and Humiliation in the Eastern District of the Metropolis". From the April number of the same magazine we find that the "Day appointed for Solemn Prayer," &c, was the Good Friday of that year, and that it was "cordially recommended . . . " as a day of humiliation and prayer, with a view to promote, by the divine blessing, a revival of religion in the British churches," by the Board of Congregational Ministers, resident in and about London, whose recommendation is dated "Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1829." The hymn was republished in Dr. Reed's Hymn Book, 1842; and again, in the Wyliffe Chapel Supply 1872. It is the most widely known of Dr. Reed's hymns, and is in extensive use. It is one of his best productions.

Spirit Divine, attend our prayer, p. 1074, ii. The form of this hymn most generally adopted in modern American collections is that rewritten by S. Longfellow, and I included in Longfellow and Johnson's Hymns of the Spirit, 1864. It is No. 67 in The Pilgrim Hymnal, 1904.

A CANTICLE FOR PENTECOST

Holy is God! Holy, the mighty One!

Holy the immortal One! Holy God, have mercy on us.

Blessed are you, most high God! When you came down at Babel, you confused the tongues and divided the nations.

But when you distributed the tongues of fire at Pentecost, you called all people to unity. Therefore, with one accord, we glorify the Holy Spirit.

Blessed are you, most high God! When you sent the Spirit upon the apostles, the Hebrews were struck with awe; they heard them speak in many tongues, as the Spirit inspired them.

They knew them to be illiterate, and now they saw them wise; speaking divine truths and bringing Gentiles to believe.

When the faithless ones witnessed the power of the Spirit, they took it to be drunkenness when in fact it was salvation for the faithful.

Therefore, with one accord, we glorify the Holy Spirit.

Holy God, Lover of souls, make us worthy of the revelation of this Spirit within us.

Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, present in all places and filling all things, the giver of life and the treasury of blessings, come and dwell in us.

You, Holy Spirit, provide every gift: you renew the church and restore wholeness;

you shed abroad the love of God;

you grant wisdom to the illiterate; you use simple fishermen through whom you begin to draw the whole world into Christ's net.

Through you we have seen the true light, we have received the spiritual gifts, we have found the true faith.

Therefore, O counsellor, equal in majesty with the Father and the Son, glory to you, Lord.

Holy the immortal One, the Spirit, the Comforter, who proceeds from the Father and reposes in the Son.

All holy Trinity, glory to you.

Sometimes we doubt that our prayers are heard above. This Bible verse on divine intervention shows that we should be confident our prayers will be answered, that we only need to surrender our control and let God take the reins in order to hear His answer.

As it is celebrated today, the Divine Liturgy is a product of historical development. The fundamental core of the liturgy dates from the time of Christ and the Apostles. To this, prayers, hymns, and gestures have been added throughout the centuries. The liturgy achieved a basic framework by the ninth century.
