Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 351 hymnals 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. Topics: Pentecost; Baptism and Confirmation Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Used With Tune: SHELDONIAN

who in thy sacrament art pleased to be;
both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail,
yet here thy presence we devoutly hail.
2 O blest memorial of our dying Lord,
who living bread to all doth here afford;
O may our souls for ever feed on thee,
and thou, O Christ, for ever precious be.
3 Fountain of goodness, Jesus, Lord and God,
cleanse us, unclean, with thy most cleansing blood;
increase our faith and love, that we may know
the hope and peace which from thy presence flow.
4 O Christ, whom now beneath a veil we see,
may what we thirst for soon our portion be;
to gaze on thee unveiled, and see thy face,
the vision of thy glory and thy grace. Topics: Communion; Holy Communion; Year A All Saints' Day; Year B Proper 14; Year C Proper 13; Years A, B, and C Day of Thanksgiving for Holy Communion; Years A, B, and C Maundy Thursday Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 Used With Tune: SHELDONIAN

I greet thee, who my sure Redeemer art
Draw Nigh to Thy Jerusalem
Author: Jeremy Taylor; Earl Nelson Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #269 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Draw nigh to thy Jerusalem, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Draw nigh to thy Jerusalem,
O Lord, thy faithful people cry with one accord:
ride on in triumph; Lord, behold,
we lay our passions, lusts, and proud wills in thy way.
2 Thy road is ready, and thy paths,
made straight, with longing expectations seem to wait
the consecration of thy beauteous feet,
and silently thy promised advent greet.
3 Hosanna! welcome to our hearts,
for here thou hast a temple too, as Zion dear;
yes, dear as Zion, and as full of sin;
how long shall theives and robbers dwell therein?
4 Enter and chase them forth,
and cleanse the floor; o'erthrow them all, that they
may nevermore profane with traffic vile that holy place
where thou hast chosen, Lord, to set thy face.
5 And then, if our stiff tongues shall faithlessly
be mute in praises of thy deity,
the very temple stones shall loud repeat
Hosanna! and thy glorious footsteps greet.

The infant Church confessed its risen Lord.
O Holy Spirit, in the Church today
No less your pow'r of fellowship display.
2 Now with the mind of Christ set us on fire,
That unity may be our great desire.
Give joy and peace; give faith to hear your call,
And readiness in each to work for all.
3 Widen our love, good Spirit, to embrace
In your strong care all those of ev'ry race.
Like wind and fire with life among us move,
Till we are known as Christ's, and Christians prove.
