Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, 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 Have you not bid us love you every way? All, all your own; soul, heart, and strength, and mind; I see your cross - there teach my heart to stay: O let me seek you, and O let me find. 4 Teach me to feel that you are 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 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.
