[Our fervent zeal for God to show]
The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up.
—ii. 17.
Our fervent zeal for God to show,
We must not with our meekness part,
Or lukewarm and indifferent grow,
To prove our gentleness of heart:
Meekness and zeal in Jesus join'd,
In saints begotten from above,
Compose, and fill the Christian mind
With purest flames of perfect love.

In saints begotten from above,
Compose, and fill the Christian mind
With purest flames of perfect love.
Saviour, I want that ardent zeal
Which in Thy heavenly bosom glow'd,
That strong desire to do the will,
And serve the family of God:
Into my heart Thy Spirit of grace,
Of love, and true devotion pour,
To fill the consecrated place,
And all my ravish'd soul devour.

To fill the consecrated place,
And all my ravish'd soul devour.
