CONGREGATIONAL SONG
GHS 225
BURN, FIRE OF GOD!
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 ev’ry blessing,
Grant all my days one holy
flame to be.
Burn, fire of God! Thy
grace and glory knowing,
My cleansed heart shall be
all fire within:
Love all-constraining,
tenderness o’erflowing,
One kindling passion other
lives to win.
Burn, fire of God! Thy
cloven tongue bestowing,
Baptizing me with
heavenly energy,
Touched with coals from
off Thine altar glowing,
My purged lips shall speak
alone of Thee.
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.
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.
