Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart Words by George Croly Music by Frederick C. Atkinson Words and Music public domain 331
Spirit of Goddescend upon my heartWean it from earththro’ all its pulses move
Stoop to my weaknessmighty as Thou artAnd make me love Theeas I ought to love
I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasiesNo sudden rending of the veil of clay
No angel visitant, no op’ning skiesBut take the dimness of my soul away
Teach me to feelthat Thou art always nighTeach me the strugglesof the soul to bear
To check the rising doubtthe rebel sighTeach me the patienceof unceasing pray’r
Teach me to love Theeas Thine angels loveOne holy passion filling all my frame
The kindling of theheav’n-descended DoveMy heart an altarand Thy love the flame
