verse 1:
G         C    G     C    G    D7    G
Spirit of God, de - scend up - on my heart;

Em   F#7     Bm     E7      D       A7     D
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;

            D7     C     D7        C       D7
Stoop to my weak - ness, migh – ty as Thou art;

G           C         G   Em   G     D7  G
And make me love Thee as  I    ought to  love.

verse 2:
G        C      G   C       G    D7         G
I ask no dream, no  proph - et   ec – sta - sies,

Em   F#7    Bm     E7    D      A7      D
No   sudden rend - ing   of the veil of clay,

            D7    C   D7       C       D7
No an - gel vis – i - tant, no opening skies;

G            C       G   Em   G    D7  G
But take the dimness of  my   soul a - way.



verse 3:
G           C    G    C    G   D7        G
Teach me to feel that Thou art al - ways nigh;

Em    F#7    Bm      E7   D      A7      D
Teach me the strug – gles of the soul to bear,

             D7     C   D7         C     D7
To check the ris  - ing doubt, the rebel sigh;

G            C        G   Em   G      D7  G
Teach me the patience of  un – ceas - ing prayer.



verse 4:
G           C    G    C   G     D7        G
Teach me to love Thee as  Thine an - gels love,

Em   F#7     Bm    E7   D       A7     D
One  ho - ly pas - sion filling all my frame;

             D7  C   D7          C       D7
The kindling of  the heav’n-de - scended Dove,

G           C         G   Em  G    D7  G
My heart an al - tar, and Thy love the flame.
