[Warm'd by fond nature's wild desire]
There went out fire from the Lord, &c.
—x. 2.
Warm'd by fond nature's wild desire,
I brought strange uncommanded fire;
Inflamed with persecuting zeal,
I served Thee—with the fire of hell:
Yet undevour'd, O God, I sing
Thy grace; and now my offering bring,
Pure incense, kindled from above
By the true fire of Jesu's love.
