Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #465 (2022) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D 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 wid'ning 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 Saints of God, your Savior praise,
who the door hath opened wide;
He hath giv'n the word of grace,
Jesus' word is glorified;
Jesus mighty to redeem,
who alone the work hath wrought;
worthy is the work of Him,
Him who spoke the world from naught.
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 show'r
drops already from above;
but the Lord will shortly pour
all the Spirit of His love. Topics: The Church, The Saints Mission Scripture: 1 Kings 18:44-45 Languages: English Tune Title: ARFON (MAJOR)
