 1 

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!

 
 2 

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!

 
 3 

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.

 
 4 

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.

 
 5 

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.

 
 6 

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.
