Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #75 (1898) First Line: I've been on Mount Pisgah's lofty height Refrain First Line: Oh, the fire is burning, yea, 'tis brightly burning Lyrics: 1 I've been on Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
And I've satisfied my longing heart's desire;
For I caught a glimpse of glory bright,
And my soul is burning with the fire.
Chorus:
Oh, the fire is burning, yes, 'tis brightly burning,
Oh, 'tis burning, burning in my soul;
Oh, the fire is burning, yea, 'tis brightly burning,
Oh, 'tis burning, burning, in my soul.
2 I will walk with Jesus, bless his name,
And to be like him I ev'ry day aspire;
For his love is like a heav'nly flame,
And my soul is burning with the fire. [Chorus]
3 I my all upon the altar I lay,
As I to my closet lovingly retire;
And the flame consumes while there I pray,
And my soul is burning with the fire. [Chorus]
4 By faith's eye I scan the ocean's foam,
And beyond I see the haven I desire;
There I view the beacon lights of home,
And my soul is burning with the fire. [Chorus] Topics: Praise; Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [I've been on Mount Pisgah's lofty height]
