See How Great a Flame Aspires

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 18:44-45 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 widening 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 given 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 spake a 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 shower drops already from above; but the Lord will shortly pour all the spirit of his love.

Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own.

Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 18:21 First Line: Some go away from the house tonight Refrain First Line: Going away from Christ tonight Lyrics: 1 Some go away from the house tonight, Purified from sin; Others reject the precious light, And go away unclean; Lovingly still the Savior stands, Pleading with thy heart; Patiently knocks with his bleeding hands, Unwilling to depart. Chorus: Going away from Christ tonight, Away from his loving care; Going away from blessed light, To darkness and despair. 2 Some will go out from the house of pray’r, Harden’d by delay, Yielding to Satan’s luring snare, Will hopeless turn away; Nevermore shall the Spirit plead At the bolted door; Now is the hour of thy soul’s great need, ‘Tis now or nevermore. [Chorus] 3 Some will go out from the house tonight, Full of trust in God, Happy in heart, made pure and white, By Jesus’ precious blood; Go not away, poor wand’rer, stay Till thou too art free! Walking with Christ life’s happy way, Most blessed shalt thou be. [Chorus] 4 Waiting a moment more for thee, Jesus still entreats; Soon will the knocking ended be, That now thy closed hearts beats; Stay, sinner, stay at Mercy’s door, Seek the open gate; Sinner, decide lest hope be o’er, And thou shouldst be too late. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Some go away from the house tonight]
