1. Spirit of     God,   de - scend up – on  my   heart;
2. I ask no      dream, no   pro - phet  ec–sta–sies,
3. Hast Thou not bid    us   love  Thee, God and  King?
4. Teach me to   feel   that Thou  art   al–ways nigh;
5. Teach me to   love   Thee as    Thine an–gels love,
Em    F#  F#7/A# Bm     E7/B    D/A       A7           D
Wean  it  from   earth; through all its   pulses       move;
No    sud-den    rend - ing     of the    veil of      clay,
All,  all thine  own,   soul,   heart and strength and mind.
Teach me  the    strug–gles    of the    soul to      bear.
One   ho–ly     pas – sion    filling   all my       frame;
             D7     Gsus/D D7     Gsus/D D7    Cadd9/D D7
Stoop to my  weak - ness,  might–y      as    Thou    art,
No angel     vis – i- - - tant,  no     ope - ‘ning   skies;
I see thy    cross; there  teach  my     heart to      cling.
To check the ris – ing    doubt, the    reb - el      sigh,
The baptism  of     the    heav’n-de - - scend-ed      Dove,
G     G/A   G/B C          G/D C/E G/D   D7     G
And   make  me  love thee  as  I   ought to     love.
But   take  the dimness    of  my  soul  a- - - way.
O     let   me  seek Thee, and O   let   me     find!
Teach me    the patience   of  un–an – swered prayer.
My    heart an  altar,     and Thy love  the    flame.
