Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, 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 opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King, love you with all our heart and strength and mind? I see the cross– there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unceasing prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove; my heart an altar, and your love the flame.

And will he write his name My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Used With Tune: ST JOHN

Come down, O Love divine

Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with our own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 There let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight and clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity my outward garment be, and lowliness become my inner clothing: true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace till we become the place in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee pure, warm, and changeless be, a living fire! 3 While life's dark maze I tread and griefs around me spread, be thou my guide. Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away, nor let me ever stray from thee aside. 4 When life's swift race is run, death's cold work almost done, be near to me. Blest Savior, then in love fear and distrust remove. O bear me safe above, redeemed and free! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16 Used With Tune: OLIVET
