windsped flame and hovering dove,
breath of life and voice of prophets,
sign of blessing, power of love:
give to those who lead your people
fresh anointing of your grace;
send them forth as bold apostles
to your Church in every place.
2 Christ our Saviour, Sovereign, Shepherd,
Word made flesh, Love crucified,
teacher, healer, suffering servant,
friend of sinners, foe of pride:
in your tending may all pastors
learn and live a shepherd's care;
grant them courage and compassion
shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, life-bestower,
truth beyond all thought's recall,
fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
giving and forgiving all:
as you know our strength and weakness,
so may those the church exalts
oversee its life steadfastly
yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious being,
undivided and diverse,
deeper than our minds can fathom,
greater than our creeds rehearse:
help us in our varied callings
your full image to proclaim,
that our ministries uniting
may give glory to your name. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: God the Spirit Actions Lyrics: 1 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.
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 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.

one holy passion filling all my frame;
the kindling of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. Scripture: Galatians 5:25 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE
