Spirt of God, Descend Upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals First Line: Spirit of God, descend upon my heart 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 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggle of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
4 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: Baptism; God's Love; Love; Spirit of God Used With Tune: MORECAMBE Text Sources: Lyra Britannica, 1867

Steps unto heaven;

Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly;
