Spirit Of God

We ought to read the words to hymns before singing them. Especially this one. Are we really ready to ask the Lord to do in our lives what we sing in this hymn? It should not be sung without first considering the requests we are asking.

  5  5  5  -5   
Spir-it of God,

 5   -6   6 -5 -5   5
de-scend up-on my heart:

  7  -7  -6    6      
Wean it from earth,

   -6   -7   6   -6  -6   6
through all its puls-es move.

  6    6  6  -7   -6   
Stoop to my week-ness,

  6  -6 -7   7  -8
might-y as Thou art,

 8   -8   7  -7   -6  
And make me love Thee

 6 7   6    6   6
as I ought to love.

verse 2

I ask no dream, no phophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of myh soul away.

verse 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!

verse 4

Teach me to feel that Thou art always night;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

verse 5

Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my rame;
The baptism of the heaven descended Dove:
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
