Thine Isr'el saw the flame
From heav'n descend, to visit earth,
And prais'd thy glorious name.
2 Give us to join their song,
To hail thee, ever good:
And mid the fire, may we adore,
Th' unchanging, gracious God.
3 Thy fan, shall purge the floor:
Thy fire, the chaff destroy:
And gath'ring of the cleansed wheat,
Thy sheave shall sing for joy. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment
