Spirit of God, Dwell Thou

Author: Rev. George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals First Line: Spirit of God, dwell Thou within my heart Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, dwell Thou within 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 us 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.

Tho' with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4. 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consumation Of peace forevermore; Till, with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest. Amen. Topics: The Church Used With Tune: AURELIA
