Atlanta, Georgia
SPIRIT OF GOD, DESCEND Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love. I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, No sudden rending of the veil of clay, No angel visitant, no op'ning skies; But take the dimness of my soul away. 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. 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.
The family gratefully acknowledges the taped expression from Dr. Howard Thurman, Dean Emeritus., 1\fursh Chapel ,Bos..
