1
\nSpirit of God, descend upon my heart;
\nwean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
\nstoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
\nand make me love thee as I ought to love.<\/p>\n
2
\nI ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
\nno sudden rending of the veil of clay,
\nno angel visitant, no opening skies;
\nbut take the dimness of my soul away.<\/p>\n
3
\nHas thou not bid me love thee, God and King?
\nAll, all thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind.
\nI see thy cross; there teach my heart to cling.
\nO let me seek thee, and O let me find.<\/p>\n
4
\nTeach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
\nteach me the struggles of the soul to bear.
\nTo check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh,
\nteach me the patience of unanswered prayer.<\/p>\n
5
\nTeach me to love thee as thine angels love,
\none holy passion filling all my frame;
\nthe kindling of the heaven-descended Dove,
\nmy heart an altar, and thy love the flame.<\/p>\n
