Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart,
free it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are,
and make me love you 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 Did you not bid us love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross -- there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the baptism of the heaven descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
