Spirit of God, de - scend up - on my heart;

E minorEm  F#7F#7   B minorBm   E7E7   D MajorD    A7A7   D MajorD
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;

      D7D7   C majorC   D7D7    C majorC    D7D7
Stoop to my weak - ness, migh – ty as Thou art;

And make me love Thee as I  ought to love.

I ask no dream, no proph - et  ec – sta - sies,

E minorEm  F#7F#7  B minorBm   E7E7  D MajorD   A7A7   D MajorD
No  sudden rend - ing  of the veil of clay,

      D7D7  C majorC  D7D7    C majorC    D7D7
No an - gel vis – i - tant, no opening skies;

But take the dimness of my  soul a - way.

Teach me the strug – gles of the soul to bear,

       D7D7   C majorC  D7D7     C majorC   D7D7
To check the ris - ing doubt, the rebel sigh;

G+G      C majorC    G+G  E minorEm  G+G   D7D7 G+G
Teach me the patience of un – ceas - ing prayer.


verse 4:
G+G      C majorC  G+G  C majorC  G+G   D7D7    G+G
Teach me to love Thee as Thine an - gels love,

One ho - ly pas - sion filling all my frame;

       D7D7 C majorC  D7D7     C majorC    D7D7
The kindling of the heav’n-de - scended Dove,

G+G      C majorC     G+G  E minorEm G+G  D7D7 G+G
My heart an al - tar, and Thy love the flame.
