Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: George Croly (1780-1860) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:14 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; oh, let me seek thee, and oh, 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.

Scatter seeds of kindness

Author: Mrs. Smith Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:7 First Line: Let us gather up the sunbeams Refrain First Line: Then scatter seeds of kindness Lyrics: 1 Let us gather up the sunbeams, Lying all around our path; Let us keep the wheat and roses, Casting out the thorns and chaff; Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of today; With a patient hand removing All the briers from the way. Chorus: Then scatter seeds of kindness, Then scatter seeds of kindness; Then scatter seeds of kindness, For our reaping by and by. 2 Strange, we never prize the music Till the sweet-voiced bird is flown! Strange, that we should slight the violets Till the lovely flowers are gone! Strange, that summer skies and sunshine Never seem one-half so fair, As when winter's snowy pinions Shake the white down in the air. [Chorus] 3 If we knew the baby fingers, Press'd against the window-pane, Would be cold and stiff tomorrow, Never trouble us again-- Would the bright eyes of our darling Catch the frown upon our brow? Would the print of rosy fingers Vex us then as they do now? [Chorus] 4 Ah! those little ice-cold fingers, How they point our mem'ries back To the hasty word and actions, Strewn along our backward track! How those little hands remind us, As in snowy grace they lie, Not to scatter thorns, but roses-- For our reaping by and by! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Let us gather up the sunbeams]
