Burn Fire Of God
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A holiness hymn invoking the Holy Spirit as purifying fire, drawing on the Pentecost imagery of cloven tongues (Acts 2) and Isaiah's coal-touched lips (Isaiah 6). It calls for complete sanctification, with the believer's soul refined until Christ's image shines through.
Verse 1
Burn fire of God! my ransomed soul possessing;
Pure fire Thou art, and I would dwell in Thee.
Light of my life, true source of every blessing,
Grant all my days one holy flame to be.
Verse 2
Burn fire of God! Thy cloven tongue bestowing,
Baptising me with heavenly energy.
Touched with live coals from off Thine altar glowing,
My purgèd lips shall speak alone of Thee.
Verse 3
Burn fire of God! with seven-fold refining,
Till, mirrored from my deeps Thine eyes shall see
In purest gold Thy perfect image shining:
Thy Christ revealed in clear irradiancy.
Verse 4
Burn fire of God! by Thine own love transcending,
Let all I hold be Thine, and Thine alone!
Heart, mind and will a sacrifice ascending,
Consumed by fire from out Thy fiery Throne.
