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.
