O Thou who camest from above,
The pure, celestial fire to impart,
|: Kindle a flame of sacred love
On the mean altar of my heart.
:|
There let it for Thy glory burn,
With inextinguishable blaze;
|: And, trembling, to its source return
In humble love and fervent praise.
:|
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 Thy gift in me;
:|
Ready for all Thy perfect will,
My acts of faith and love repeat,
|: Till death Thine endless mercies seal,
And make Thine sacrifice complete.

O thou who camest from above
the fire celestial to impart,
|: kindle a flame of sacred love
upon the altar of my heart. :|
There let it for thy glory burn
with ever bright, undying blaze,
|: and trembling to its source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise. :|
There let it for Thy glory burn
Unquenched, undimmed,
in darkest days,
|: And trembling to its source return,
In humble prayer and fervent praise. :|
Jesus, confirm thy 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. :|
Still let me prove thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
|: till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete. :|
Ready for all Thy perfect will,
My acts of faith and love repeat,
|: Till death Thine endless mercies seal,
And make Thy sacrifice complete.
