Burn, Fire Of God!

5 verses

Verse 1

Burn, fire of God! my ransomed soul possessing; Pure fire Thou art, and I would dwell in Thee. Light of my life, true source of ev'ry blessing, Grant all my days one holy flame to be.

Verse 2

Burn, fire of God! Thy grace and glory knowing, My cleansed heart shall be all fire within: Love all-constraining, tenderness o'erflowing, One kindling passion other lives to win.

Verse 3

Burn, fire of God! Thy cloven tongue bestowing, Baptizing me with heavenly energy. Touched with live coals from off Thine altar glowing, My purged lips shall speak alone of Thee.

Verse 4

Burn, fire of God! with seven-fold refining, Till mirrored from my deeps Thine eyes shall see. In purest gold Thy perfect image shining: Thy Christ revealed in clear irradiancy.

Verse 5

Burn, fire of God! by Thine own love transcending, Let all I hold be Thine, and Thine alone! Heart, mind and will, a sacrifice ascending, Consumed by fire from out Thy fiery Throne.
