MHB 263 – SEE how great a flame aspires,

Methodist-Hymns-263

1:  SEE how great a flame aspires,
Kindled by a spark of grace!
Jesu’s love the nations fires,
Sets the kingdoms on a blaze.
To bring fire on earth He came;
Kindled in some hearts it is:
O that all might catch the flame,
All partake the glorious bliss!

2:  When He first the work begun,
Small and feeble was His day:
Now the world doth swiftly run,
Now it wins its widening way;
More and more it spreads and grows
Ever mighty to prevail;
Sin’s strongholds it now o’erthrows,
Shakes the trembling gates of hell.

3:  Sons of God, your Saviour praise!
He the door hath opened wide;
He hath given the word of grace,
Jesu’s word is glorified;
Jesus, mighty to redeem,
He alone the work has wrought;
Worthy is the work of Him,
Him who spake a world from nought.

4:  Saw ye not the cloud arise,
Little as a human hand?n Now it spreads along the skies,
Hangs o’er all the thirsty land:
Lo! the promise of a shower
Drops already from above;
But the Lord will shortly pour
All the Spirit of His love!
