And is thy word, oh God, a fire?
Let light and heat from thence proceed;
The holy flame by it produced
Do thou with constant fuel feed.
Is it a hammer? let it break
This heard unfeeling heart of mine,
And by its oft repeated strokes,
Prepare the way for joys divine.
Let not thy faithful servants, Lord,
Of fruitless labours e’er complain;
Oh may this fire be never quenched,
This hammer never strike in vain.
Lord, send thy truth to every land,
Let pagans feel its mighty power;
And let its wide dominion spread,
Till sin and death are known no more.
