1 Oh for the flame of living fire,
Which shone so bright in saints of old,
Which bade their souls to heav’n aspire,
Calm in distress, in danger bold!

Refrain:
Send the old time fire upon us, Lord!
Send the old time fire upon us, Lord!
Send the old time fire upon us, Lord!
And burn up all the dross!

2 Where is that Spirit, Lord, who dwelt
In Abram’s breast, and sealed him Thine?
Which made Paul’s heart with sorrow melt,
And glow with energy divine? [Refrain]

3 That Spirit who, from age to age,
Proclaimed Thy love, and taught Thy ways?
Brightened Isaiah’s vivid page,
And breathed into David’s hallowed lays? [Refrain]

4 Is not Thy grace as mighty now
As when Elijah felt its pow’r?
When glory beamed from Moses’ brow,
Or Job endured the trying hour? [Refrain]

5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days;
Renew Thy work, thy grace restore;
And while to Thee our hearts we raise,
On us Thy holy Spirit pour! [Refrain]
