[Sent, through Jesus, from the skies]

There came a fire out from before the Lord, &c. —ix. 24.

Sent, through Jesus, from the skies,
Spirit of burning, come;
Kindle on the sacrifice,
And all our sins consume:
While Thou dost Thyself reveal,
Our persons, and our works approve,
All our ravish'd souls shall feel
The fire of heavenly love.
Father, trusting in Thy Son,
I bow to Jesu's name,
Glows my heart with warmth unknown,
With pure seraphic flame:

62

Lost in wonder at Thy grace,
I fall the pardoning God before,
Breathe unutterable praise,
And silently adore.
