O that I had a seraph's fire

Hymnal: A New Selection of Hymns; designed for the use of conference meetings, private circles, and congregations, as a supplement to Dr. Watts' Psalms and Hymns #22 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O that I had a seraph's fire, His rapt'rous song and golden lyre, To chant the love and grace supreme, Reveal'd as in the gospel scheme. 2 Here's pardon full, for sins that's past, It matters not, how black their cast; And, O my soul, with wonder view, For sins to come,* here's pardon too. 3 When Jesus dy'd, their debts were paid, Whose sin lay on this Scape Goat's head; Was to the trackless desert drove, And buried in eternal love. 4 In this abyss of love profound, when sought for they shall not be found; Hid from Jehovah's piercing eye, There in oblivious shades they lie. 5 The nation, thus redeem'd from sin, Were chosen, lov'd and blest in him; And while he lives, they ne'er shall die, For they are his by cov'nant-tie. 6 Let saints prepare to crown his brow With bright immortal trophies, now; And let their songs record his name, His honors, and his deathless fame.
