1. May soon Thy fire by burning brightly,
Thou who dost love beyond all words!
May all the world acknowledge rightly
That Thou art Kind and Lord of lords!
2. E’en now that fire is brightly glowing;
Lo, here, lo, there in West and East;
On Thee, O loving Lamb, bestowing
A joyous Pentecostal feast!
3. Still now that holy fire from heaven
Warms hearts that once were dead and cold;
Sin-wounded souls are healed and given
By their deliverance joys untold.
4. That fire consumes all proud behavior,
All selfishness, impurity;
And magnifies the love, dear Savior,
Of those who put their trust in Thee.
5. Thou art the Fount of love unending,
Thou Breath of life from heaven above!
May naught prevent Thee, Lord, from sending
Into our hearts this fire of love!
6. O blend all that is disunited
Into a temple grand and fair;
And may Thy Father’s house be lighted
By love from heaven gleaming there.
7. O warm, awaken, and enlighten
The world to praise that will not cease;
And every tribe and nation brighten
With truth to know Thee, Prince of Peace.
8. Ah, then shall sound from million voices
The harmonies of Jubilee;
As every heart in Thee rejoices
And saints all glow with love for Thee.
