Author: George Croly, 1780-1869 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 355 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.

Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 3 O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Saviour, can it be! All thy mercy's height I prove, All the depth is seen in me. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside the sight t'admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell--to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell!
