Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Hymnal: WASH1957 #91 (2006) 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 us 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: O let me seek Thee, and O 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. Amen. Topics: Comforter; Education Christian; Schools; Teaching; Whitsunday; The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE

Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

Author: Marcus M. Wells, 1815-1895 Hymnal: WASH1957 #94 (2006) Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, Ever near the Christian’s side; Gently lead us by the hand, Pilgrims in a desert land; Weary souls fore’er rejoice, While they hear that sweetest voice Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” 2 Ever present, truest Friend, Ever near Thine aid to lend, Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear; When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er. Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heav'n and prayer, Wond'ring if our names were there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood, Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” Amen. Topics: Comforter; Pilgrimage, Christian; Whitsunday; The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: FAITHFUL GUIDE
