Holy Ghost Baptism · Hymn 180 · 8.3.8.3.8.8.8.3
Thou Christ of burning cleansing flame
“He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire” . Matt. 3:11
1.
Thou Christ of burning cleansing flame
Send the fire
Thy blood brought gift today we claim
Send the fire
Look down and see this waiting host
Give us the promis’d Holy Ghost
We want another Pentecost
Send the fire
2.
God of Elijah, hear our cry
Send the fire
Oh, make us fit to live or die
Send the fire
To burn up every trace of sin
To bring the light and glory in
The revolution now begin
Send the fire
3.
’Tis fire we want, for fire we plead
Send the fire
The fire will meet our every need
Send the fire
For strength to ever do the right
For grace to conquer in the fight
For power to walk the world in white
Send the fire.
4.
To make our weak heart strong and brave
Send the fire
To live a dying world to save
Send the fire
Oh, see us on Thy altar lay
Our lives, our all, this very day
To crown the offering now, we pray
Send the fire.
Amen
