Tune: | HEREFORD |
Composer: | Samuel Sebastian Wesley, 1810-1876 |
1 O thou who camest from above
the fire celestial to impart,
kindle a flame of sacred love
upon the altar of my heart.
2 There let it for thy glory burn
with ever bright, undying blaze,
and trembling to its source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise.
3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire
and still stir up the gift in me.
4 Still let me prove thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete.
