| | | In oneness mingled with us so. |

| | | 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. |
