Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #541b (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O thou who camest from above
the fire celestial to impart,
kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.
2 There let it for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise.
3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work and speak and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire
and still stir up the gift in me.
4 Ready for all thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete. Topics: Confirmation; Grace and Providence; Ordination/Commissioning; Pentecost Scripture: Leviticus 6:13 Languages: English Tune Title: AFFECTION
