Words by George Croly Music by Frederick C. Atkinson

Another beautiful hymn with a perfect tone-setting
message....

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.
Teach me to know 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 unceasing prayer.
Teach me to love Thee [as Thou lovest me],
One holy passion filling all my frame;
[I wish Thy living sacrifice to be],
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
