Author: W. J. H. Meter: 7.7.11.7.7.11.6.6.6.6.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 5:18 First Line: Lord, I would be wholly Thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would be wholly Thine,
I would do Thy will divine,
From the world and sin and self I would be free;
On the altar now I lie,
And with all my heart I cry,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.
Refrain:
Let the fire fall on me,
Let the fire fall on me;
The fire of Pentecost,
Consuming sin and dross,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.
2 I would have sufficient grace
Every foe to bravely face,
And an overcomer evermore to be;
That I well may fill my place,
And that I may win the race,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me. [Refrain]
3 Holy Spirit from above,
Fill my longing soul with love,
Till the Master’s image all in me may see;
Make me gentle, true, and kind,
Meek of heart, and humble mind,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me. [Refrain]
4 In the kingdom I would stay,
There to labor night and day,
Any way and anywhere Thy will may be;
But that I may do my best,
And that others may be blest,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Lord, I would be wholly Thine] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Let_the_Fire_Fall_on_Me); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Hymnal of the Church of God, 1953 (214)
