Lord Father descend upon our heart - the Spirit of God - wean it from earth - through all its pulses move - stop our weakness, mighty as thou art - make us love thee as we ought to love -
teach us to feel that thou art always nigh - teach us the struggles of the soul to bear - to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh - teach us the patience of unanswered prayer -
teach us to love thee as thine Angels love - one holy passion filling all our frame - the baptism of the Heaven-descended Dove - our heart an altar and thy love the flame - thanks for our daily meal - God Bless us - Amen
