Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Hymnal: Voices United #378 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Epiphany 6 Year A Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; stoop to my weakness, strength to me impart, 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 Hast you not bid me love you, God and King; all, all your own, soul, 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.

God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: So deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: For God know all — exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: For God speaks still — his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will!

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Voices United #165 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Epiphany 6 Year C Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness: God has brought forth Israel into joy from sadness, loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters, led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 'Tis the spring of souls today, Christ has burst his prison, and from three days' sleep in death as a sun has risen; all the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendour, with the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render; comes to gladden faithful hearts, who with true affection welcome in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection! 4 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold him as a mortal: for today amid his own he now stands, bestowing God's true peace which evermore passes human knowing.
