Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day, When we, a ransomed nation, Thy scepter shall obey! Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

See how great a flame aspires

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires, Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus' love the nations fires, Sets the kingdoms on a blaze; To bring fire on earth He came, Kindled in some hearts it is; O that all might catch the flame, All partake the glorious bliss! 2 When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day; Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it wins its widening way; More and more it spreads and grows, Ever mighty to prevail, Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise! He the door hath opened wide; He hath given the word of grace, Jesus' word is glorified; Jesus, mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought; Worthy is the work of Him, Him who spake a world from nought. 4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o'er all the thirsty land; Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above; But the Lord will shortly pour All the Spirit of His love!

Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them share the peace of heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And help the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall those wandered from Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
