Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 340 hymnals Scripture: Mark 12:30 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 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. 5 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.
