Charles Wesley (1707-1788).
O THOU, who earnest from above, The pure celestial fire to impart, Kindle a flame of sacred love On 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 the sacrifice complete.
