1. Lord, in Thy Spirit, take and fill my heart;
  Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
  Into my spirit all Thy grace impart,
  And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
  
2. I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
  No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
  No angel visitant, no opening skies;
  But take the dimness of my soul away.
  
3. Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King?
  All, all Thine own �� soul, heart and strength and mind.
  I see Thy cross �� there teach my heart to cling.
  Oh, let me seek Thee, and, oh, let me find.
  
4. Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
  Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
  To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
  Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
  
5. Teach me to love Thee with a virgin love,
  One holy passion filling all my frame;
  Thus all the riches of Thyself to prove,
  My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
