Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 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 op'ning skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King? All, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength and mind. I see the 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 heav'n-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Almighty cause Of earth and seas and worlds unknown; All things are subject to thy laws; All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious being singly stands, Of all within itself possest; Control'd by none are thy commands; Thou from thyself alone art blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heav'n and earth due homage pay; All other Gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 Spread thy great name thro' heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Reduce the world to thy command, And reign, as thou art, God alone.
