Roll On, O Billow Of Fire!

Author: Philip Paul Bliss Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12247 First Line: Hark! the alarm, the clang of the bells! Refrain First Line: Roll on, roll on, O billow of fire! Lyrics: 1 Hark! the alarm, the clang of the bells! Signal of danger, it rises and swells; Flashes like lightning illumine the sky, See the red glare as the flames mount on high. Refrain: Roll on, roll on, O billow of fire! Dash, with thy fury-waves higher and higher; Ours is a mansion abiding and sure; Ours is a kingdom eternal, secure. 2 Oh, like a fiend in its towering wrath, On, and destruction alone points the path; "Mercy, O Heaven," the sufferers wail, Feeble humanity naught can avail. [Refrain] 3 Thousands are homeless, and quick to their cry, Heaven-born charity yields a supply; Upward we glance in our terrible grief, "Give us this day," brings the promised relief. [Refrain] 4 Treasures have vanished, and riches have flown, Hopes for the earth-life are blasted and gone; Courage, O brother yield not to despair: "God is our refuge," His kingdom we share. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! the alarm, the clang of the bells!]
