284. Send the Fire

1 If we would be fully free from all sin,
We must let the cleansing fire make us clean,
That our hearts be fit for Thee to come in,
Send the fire, and send it now.

Refrain:
O the fire is what we need, send it now,
Send it now, send it now;
All the sin and dross consume,
Make us fully now Thine own,
Send the fire and send it now.

2 In the upper room it fell long ago,
The disciples’ hearts with joy overflow’d;
Still His pow’r’s the same today, this we know,
Send the fire, and send it now. [Refrain]

3 Jesus calls to us His follow’rs to be,
He is calling where He leads you and me;
Lord, that we in service now may be free,
Send the fire, and send it now. [Refrain]
