O THOU WHO CAMEST FROM ABOVE
The pure celestial fire to impart
Kindle a flame of sacred love
Upon the mean altar of my heart
There let it for Thy glory burn
With inextinguishable blaze
And trembling to its 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 the holy fire
And still stir up Thy gift 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
