Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 340 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:27 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth; through all its pulses move; stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art, and make me love thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King; all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind? I see thy cross; there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh. Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh. Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame; the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

By him the rolling seasons in fruitful order move; sing to the Lord of harvest a joyous song of love. 2 God makes the clouds rain goodness, the deserts bloom and spring, the hills leap up in gladness, the valleys laugh and sing. God fills them with his fullness, all things with large increase; he crowns the year with blessing, with plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all. Used With Tune: WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN

Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning

Author: Anon. Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:2 Lyrics: 1 Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning, Tokens of the coming Lord; O'er the earth the fields are whit'ning, Louder rings the Master's word: Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In the harvest of the Lord. Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In the harvest of the Lord. 2 Feebly now they toil in sadness, Weeping o'er the waste around, Slowly gath'ring grains of gladness, While their echoing cries re-sound: Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In God's harvest may abound. Pray that reapers, Pray that reapers, In God's harvest may abound. 3 Now, O Lord, fulfill thy pleasure, Breathe upon thy chosen band, And with pentecostal measure, Send forth reapers in our land; Faithful reapers, Faithful reapers, Gath'ring sheaves for thy right hand, Faithful reapers, Faith reapers, Gath'ring sheaves for thy right hand. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come, Heav'n and earth together keeping God's eternal harvest home; Saints and angels, Saints and angels, Shout the world's great harvest home. Saints and angels, Saints and angels, Shout the world's great harvest home. Topics: Bible Songs Missionary Songs Used With Tune: PRAY FOR REAPERS
