Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 360 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Work Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; stoop to my weakness, strength to me impart, 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 Hast you not bid me love you, God and King; all, all your own, soul, 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.

O my Saviour, When shall I be wholly thine? 4 Nearer is my soul's salvation, Spent the night, the day at hand; Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for thee, till I stand, O my Saviour, In thy bright and promised land. 5 With my lamp well-trimmed and burning Swift to hear, and slow to roam, Watching for thy glad returning To restore me to my home; Come, my Saviour, O my Saviour, quickly come!
