Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: Proper 7 Year B 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.

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then, arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the sons of light; Zion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
