#10 (Tune 2), #740, #843

 

 1  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit

       From soul that we Thyself may know;

    Thou art the Spirit in our spirit,

       In oneness mingled with us so.

 

 2  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit,

       The soul-life ever to deny,

    And ever follow Thee in spirit,

       Thyself, the Spirit, to apply.

 

 3  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit

       That we may never set our mind

    Upon the flesh but on the spirit,

       That sin and self no more may bind.

 

 4  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit

       That we may never soulish be,

    But truly spiritual, in spirit

       To know all things discernibly.

 

 5  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit

       That subtle self exposed might be,

    That by the cross to it applying

       We'll live not by ourselves but Thee.

 

 6  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit

       That we may be transformed in soul,

    Till we're conformed to Thine own image,

       Till we're matured and reach the goal.

 

 7  Lord, teach us to discern the spirit,

       To us Thy living Word so give

    That soul from spirit be divided

       And in the holiest place we'll live.
