All the Way

Author: Clara M. Brooks Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:3 First Line: Within my heart was fond ambition Lyrics: 1 Within my heart was fond ambition, Vain pride, and hopes of worldly fame; But still remained a place so vacant, Unfilled by highest earthly aim. Then Jesus reached His hand to help me— “Come, seek My love,” I heard Him say; I quickly left the world behind me, To follow Jesus all the way. 2 He led me through the verdant valleys, Where flowers bloomed by waters fair; The sunbeams glory showered o’er me, And fragrant odors filled the air. Then through the shadowed vale I followed, Where entered not a brilliant ray; I felt His touch, though could not see Him, Then whispered softly, “All the way.” 3 And then the furnace door was opened: Within its fiery walls enclosed, The Son of God was still beside me, Upon His bosom I reposed. When in my heart He saw reflected His image pure—as bright as day— He led me forth with joy abounding; Again I whispered, “All the way.” 4 I stood all ready for His service, With gold refined and dross removed; The flames had left my soul uninjured, But they my faithfulness had proved. In dismal night or brightest noonday, If Thou wilt near me ever stay, Where’er Thou leadest me, O Savior, I’ll meekly follow all the way.

The Refiner’s Fire

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:1-3 First Line: He sat by a furnace of seven-fold heat Lyrics: 1 He sat by a furnace of seven-fold heat, As he watched by the precious ore, And closer He bent with a searching gaze, As He heated it more and more, He knew He had ore that would stand the test, And He wanted the finest gold To mould as a crown for the King to wear, Set with gems of a price untold. 2 So He laid our gold in the burning fire, Tho’ we fain would have said Him “Nay,” And He watched the dross that we had not seen, As it melted and passed away. And the gold grew brighter and yet more bright, But our eyes were so dim with tears, We saw but he fire—not the Master’s hand, And questioned with anxious fears. 3 Yet our gold shone out with a richer glow, As it mirrored a Form above, That bent o’er the fire, tho’ unseen by us, With a look of ineffable love. Can we think that it pleases His loving heart To cause us a moment’s pain? Ah, no! but He saw thro’ the present cross The bliss of eternal gain. 4 So He waited there with a watchful eye, With a love that is strong and sure, And His gold did not suffer a whit more heat Than was needed to make it pure, Dear soul, when God shall smelt thine ore, Shrink not from the furnace heat; ‘Twill only the dross from your heart remove, And leave it pure and sweet.
