Author: C. H. M. Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #22 (1902) First Line: ‘Twas when to Christ I fully gave Lyrics: 1 ‘Twas when to Christ I fully gave
My heart, my life, my all;
The gift of His redeeming grace
On me did sweetly fall.
Refrain:
My heart is burning with His love,
My heart is burning with His love,
The fire comes down from heav’n above;
My heart is burning with His love.
2 ‘Twas when I felt all else was vain,
That Christ was first and best;
The “Dove of Peace” form glory came,
And comfort filled my breast. [Refrain]
3 The gift tho’ small the Saviour saw
Upon the altar lie;
And sent from heav’n a living flame
The gift to sanctify. [Refrain]
4 On us descend, O heavenly Dove,
Till every soul is thrilled;
Till with the fullness of Thy love
Our every heart is filled. [Refrain] Tune Title: [‘Twas when to Christ I fully gave]
My Heart Is Burning With His Love
