Oh thou who camest from above,
The pure celestial flame to impart,
Kindle a fire of sacred love
On the mean altar of my heart.
There let it for thy Glory burn
With inextinguishable blaze,
Then trembling to the source return,
In humble prayer and fervent praise.
Jesus, confirm my heart’s desire,
To work and speak and think for thee,
Still let me guard this holy fire,
And still stir up thy gifts in me.
Ready for all thy perfect will,
My acts of faith and love repeat,
‘till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make my sacrifice complete.
Charles Wesley
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face,
And the things of the world will grow strangely dim,
In the light of his Glory and Grace.
Helen H Lemmel
Only one life,
will soon be past;
Only what's done
For Christ will last;
And when I am dying,
How glad I will be
That the lamp of my life
Has been burned out for Thee.
