Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Commitment, Discipleship; Commitment, Discipleship 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 op'ning skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Have 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.
Oh, let me seek you, and, oh, let me find!
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the baptism of the heav'n-descended dove,
my heart an altar, and your love the flame. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

The Voice of God is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Commitment Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
to women and to men;
the voice once heard in Zion,
resounds on earth again:
whom shall I send to succor
my people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
the bonds of shame and greed?
2 I hear my people crying
in slum and mine and mill;
no field or mart is silent,
no city street is still.
I see my people falling
in darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
the fetters which they bear?
3 We heed, O God, your summons,
and answer: Here are we!
Send us upon your errand,
let us your servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
our years a passing hour,
But you can use our weakness
to magnify your power.
4 From ease and plenty save us;
from pride of place absolve;
purge us of low desire;
lift us to high resolve;
take us, and make us holy;
teach us your will and way.
Speak, and behold! we answer;
command, and we obey! Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

the world's foundations first were laid,
come, visit every pious mind;
come, pour thy joys on humankind;
from sin and sorrow set us free
and make thy temples worthy thee.

the Father's promised Paraclete,
thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire,
our hearts with heavenly love inspire;
come and thy sacred unction bring
to sanctify us while we sing.

rich in thy sevenfold energy;
make us eternal truths receive
and practice all that we believe;
give us thyself that we may see
the Father and the Son by thee.
