Oh, may my spirit flow

Oh

may my spirit flow

Oh

may it flow!

Now I beseech Thee

Lord

Oh

may it flow!

My past I would forsake

The iron walls would break

My spirit free would make;

Oh

may it flow!

Oh

may my spirit flow

Oh

may it flow!

Now I implore Thee

Lord

Oh

may it flow!

No more self-satisfied

No more in self-bound pride

No more my spirit tied;

Oh

may it flow!

Oh

may my spirit flow

Oh

may it flow!

For this I plead with Thee

Oh

may it flow!

High-minded not to be

Pride shall not prison me

I’d flow unceasingly

In spirit flow.

Oh

may my spirit flow

Oh

may it flow!

For this I seek Thee

Lord

Oh

may it flow!

No more to isolate

Nor self to perfect make

My spirit nought abate

Deeply to flow.

Oh

may my spirit flow

Oh

may it flow!

I ask Thee

gracious Lord

Oh

may it flow!

My trust in self o’erthrow

Down from self’s throne I’ll go

That living water flow

In spirit

Lord.

Oh

may my spirit flow

Oh

may it flow!

Answer my prayer

dear Lord

Oh

may it flow!

Not just commune with Thee

I long to builded be

Mingle with others free

In spirit

Lord.
