  1. 1See how great a flame aspires,
  2. Kindled by a spark of grace!
  3. Jesus' love the nations fires,
  4. Sets the kingdoms on a blaze;
  5. To bring fire on earth He came,
  6. Kindled in some hearts it is;
  7. O that all might catch the flame,
  8. All partake the glorious bliss!
  9. 2When He first the work begun,
  10. Small and feeble was His day;
  11. Now the word doth swiftly run,
  12. Now it wins its widening way;
  13. More and more it spreads and grows,
  14. Ever mighty to prevail,
  15. Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows,
  16. Shakes the trembling gates of hell.
  17. 3Sons of God, your Saviour praise!
  18. He the door hath opened wide;
  19. He hath given the word of grace,
  20. Jesus' word is glorified;
  21. Jesus, mighty to redeem,
  22. He alone the work hath wrought;
  23. Worthy is the work of Him,
  24. Him who spake a world from nought.
  25. 4Saw ye not the cloud arise,
  26. Little as a human hand
  27. Now it spreads along the skies,
  28. Hangs o'er all the thirsty land;
  29. Lo! the promise of a shower
  30. Drops already from above;
  31. But the Lord will shortly pour
  32. All the Spirit of His love!
