Lord, fill my craving heart

Refrain: Lord, fill my craving heart, Lord, fill my craving heart With a deep, burning love for souls, Lord, fill my craving heart. 2 Deepen in me thy work of grace, Teach me to do thy will, Help me to live a spotless life, Thy holy laws fulfil. 3 With mighty power my soul baptise, My longing heart inspire, That I may from this moment rise A living flame of fire. 4 I want in this dark world to shine, And ever faithful be, That all around shall know I’m thine In blest reality.
