Fire of God, Thou Sacred Flame
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1Fire of God, Thou sacred flame,
Spirit who in splendor came,
Let Thy heat my soul refine
Till it glows with love divine.
2Breath of God, that swept in power
In the pentecostal hour,
Holy Breath, be Thou in me
Source of vital energy.
3Strength of God, Thy might within
Conquers sorrow, pain, and sin;
Fortify from evil's art
All the gateways of my heart.
4Truth of God, Thy piercing rays
Penetrate my secret ways;
May the light that shames my sin
Guide me to the paths of win.
5Love of God, Thy grace profound
Know e'en neither age nor bound:
Come, my heart's own guest to be,
Dwell forever more in me.
