Zion's Harp ‎#72

72. Holy love, bright flame from heaven

1 Holy love, bright flame from heaven,
Only to pure hearts revealed,
From the Lamb whose life was given
In our heart and bosom sealed.
In our heart and bosom sealed.

2 Joy and peace, Thy blessing, give us,
Joy the world cannot obtain!
We are thirsty; come relieve us;
What has strayed, unite again.
What has strayed, unite again.

3 Sweet repose and peace of heaven,
Gifts which Jesus doth bestow,
Come, revive us when we’re weary,
Treasure which we love and know.
Treasure which we love and know.

4 Mercy, kindness and forbearance
Enter in and in us live,
That our brother’s debt and failing
We with gladness may forgive.
We with gladness may forgive.

5 Meekness, friendship, truth’s attire,
Likeness after God’s own will,
May both friend and foe desire
What our soul and spirit fills.
What our soul and spirit fills.

6 Goodness, kindness, love most tender,
Do thy helping hand extend;
Thy protection do Thou render
And Thy foe in love defend.
And Thy foe in love defend.

7 Holy faith, our Rock and Refuge,
Give us courage to be true
And to fight a valiant conflict,
Till the conq’ring host we view.
Till the conq’ring host we view.

8 Tranquil silence, gentle whisp’ring,
Glory, where Jehovah reigns,
Show us, when the scorners mock us,
Thy reward for vict’ries gained.
Thy reward for vict’ries gained.

9 Love of Jesus, love of brethren,
Heal our souls from ev’ry smart!
Grant to us Thy purest motives
And a pure, unspotted heart.
And a pure, unspotted heart.
