Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #625 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 O thou who camest from above
the pure celestial fire to impart,
kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.
2 There let it for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return,
in humble prayer and fervent praise.
3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work, and speak, and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me:
4 Ready for all thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Enlivening and Renewing the Chruch; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; Confirmation; Devotion Scripture: 1 Chronicles 21:26 Languages: English Tune Title: HEREFORD
