"Spirit
of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth, through all its pulses
move; stoop to my weakness, strength to me impart, and make me love you
as I ought to love." The classic 19th century hymn tune Morecambe,
on which this choral setting is based, is found in the Lutheran Book
of Worship, #486. My setting uses an optional cello part along with
flowing piano accompaniment. Well-suited for use in the Lenten season
and for Pentecost Sunday, the words of this wonderful prayer are appropriate
throughout the church year.
