Spirit of God, Descend
1. Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
When it from earth; thro’ all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, Mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
When it from earth; thro’ 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 rendering of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no op’ning skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
No sudden rendering of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no op’ning skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
3. 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.
Teach me the struggles 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 kindling of the heav’n descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The kindling of the heav’n descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
