225. Burn Fire Of God

holy spirit

1

Burn fire of God! my ransomed soul possessing; Pure fire Thou art, and I would dwell in Thee. Light of my life, true source of every blessing, Grant all my days one holy flame to be.

2

Burn fire of God! Thy cloven tongue bestowing, Baptising me with heavenly energy. Touched with live coals from off Thine altar glowing, My purgèd lips shall speak alone of Thee.

3

Burn fire of God! with seven-fold refining, Till, mirrored from my deeps Thine eyes shall see In purest gold Thy perfect image shining: Thy Christ revealed in clear irradiancy.

4

Burn fire of God! by Thine own love transcending, Let all I hold be Thine, and Thine alone! Heart, mind and will a sacrifice ascending, Consumed by fire from out Thy fiery Throne.
