Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1869 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Longing for God and Christ 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 messenger, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast thou not bid me 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: oh let me seek thee and oh let me find. 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to face 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.

Great God, indulge my humble claim

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 272 hymnals Topics: Longing For God Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim, Be Thou my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose Thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, Thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God; And I am Thine, by sacred ties, Thy son, Thy servant, bought with blood. 3 With fainting heart, and lifted hands, For Thee I long, to Thee I look; As travellers in thirsty lands Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 Should I from Thee, my God, remove, Life could no lasting bliss afford: My joy, the sense of pardoning love; My guard, the presence of my Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise; This work shall make my heart rejoice, And fill the circle of my days.
