free it from sin, through all its pulses move. 
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, 
and make me love you 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 Did you not bid us love you, God and King, 
love you with all our heart and strength and mind? 
I see your cross -- there teach my heart to cling. 
O let me seek you and O let me find! 
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love, 
one holy passion filling all my frame: 
the baptism of the heaven descended Dove, 
my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
