Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: Baptism and Confirmation 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: 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. Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Used With Tune: SHELDONIAN
