Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 345 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 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 op'ning skies; But take the dimness of my soul away. 3 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. 4 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame; The kindling of the heav'n descended Dove, My heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7 Appears in 413 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild; Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all. And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall. With the poor and meek and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay. Christian children all should be Kind, obedient, good as he. 4 For he is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew. And he feels for all our sadness, And he shares in all our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above. And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone.
