Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Aspiration and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth, thro' all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 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! 3 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. 4 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame; The baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove - My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. (optional choral ending) Amen, amen, amen, amen. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE
