Lyrics

Spir it of (F7)God, (Bb)de (Eb)scend (Bb)up (Cm7)on (F7)my (Bb)heart;

(Gm)wean (A)it (A7)from (Dm)earth; (Bbm6)through (F)all its (C7)puls es (F)move;

stoop to my (F7)weak ness, might y as Thou art,

(Bb)and make me (Eb)love Thee (Bb)as (Eb)I (Bb)ought (F7)to (Bb)love.

Hast Thou not (F7)bid (Bb)me (Eb)love (Bb)Thee, (Cm7)God (F7)and (Bb)King?

(Gm)All, (A)all (A7)thine (Dm)own (Bbm6)soul, (F)heart and (C7)strength and (F)mind.

I see Thy (F7)cross; there teach my heart to cling.

(Bb)O let me (Eb)seek Thee, (Bb)and (Eb)O (Bb)let (F7)me (Bb)find!
