Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: George Croly (1780-1860) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence 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 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 check 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. Scripture: 1 Samuel 10:5-11 Used With Tune: SONG 22

O for a Heart to Praise My God!

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,180 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God! A heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels Thy blood, So freely shed for me; 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone; 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean, Which neither life nor death can part From Him that dwells within; 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect and right and pure and good, A copy, Lord, of Thine! 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of Love. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51:10 Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

Lyrics: 1 God calling yet! -- shall I not hear? Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear? Shall life's swift passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie? 2 God calling yet! -- shall I not rise? Can I His loving voice despise, And basely His kind care repay? He calls me still; can I delay? 3 God calling yet! -- and shall He knock, And I my heart the closer lock? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? 4 God calling yet! - and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake; He calls me still; -- my heart, awake! 5 Ah, yield Him all; in Him confide; Where but with Him doth peace abide? Break loose, let earthly bonds be riv'n, And let the spirit rise to heav'n! Amen. Used With Tune: HAMBURG
