a hymn
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
wean it from earth.
stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
and make me love Thee as i ought to love.
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.
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.
teach me to love Thee as i ought to love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the baptism of the heav'n descended Dove
My heart an altar and Thy love the flame.
