[Thou camest from above]
I am come to send fire on the earth.
—xii. 49.
Thou camest from above
The fire of heavenly love
Over all the earth to spread;
Good and gracious as Thou art
Now Thy loving Spirit shed,
Now inflame my longing heart.
The fire of heavenly love
Over all the earth to spread;
Good and gracious as Thou art
Now Thy loving Spirit shed,
Now inflame my longing heart.
Answer Thine own design,
And let one spark Divine
From that sacred altar come
Kindled once on Calvary,
All my sins by love consume,
Hallow all my soul to Thee.
And let one spark Divine

Kindled once on Calvary,
All my sins by love consume,
Hallow all my soul to Thee.
