Lord, teach us to discern the spirit

	1.	Lord, teach us to discern the spirit
		Form the soul that we Thyself my
		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.
