O for that flame of living fire

Author: Wm. H. Bathurst Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for that flame of living fire Which shone so bright in saints of old; Which bade their souls to heaven aspire, Calm in distress, in danger bold! 2 Where is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abram's breast, and scaled him thine? Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine? 3 That spirit which from age to age Proclaimed thy love, and taught thy ways? Brightened Isaiah's vivid page, And breathed in David's hallowed lays? 4 Is not thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its power? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour? 5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days; Renew thy work, thy grace restore; And while to thee our hearts we raise, On us thy Holy Spirit pour.

As when in silence vernal showers

Author: John Rippon Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As when in silence vernal showers Descend and cheer the fainting flowers, So, in the secrecy of love, Falls the sweet influence from above. 2 That heavenly influence let me find In holy silence of the mind; While every grace maintains its bloom, Diffusing wide its rich perfume. 3 Nor let these blessings be confined To me, but poured on all mankind, Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise, And blooming Eden bless our eyes.

Thee We Adore, Eternal Name

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 372 hymnals First Line: Thee we adore, Eternal Name! Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name! And humbly own to Thee How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we. 2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As months and days increase; And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave; Whate’er we do, where’er we be, We’re traveling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Good God! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things! Th’eternal states of all the dead Upon life’s feeble strings. 6 Infinite joy or endless woe Attends on every breath, And yet how unconcerned we go Upon the brink of death! 7 Waken, O Lord! our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road; And if our souls be hurried hence, May they be found with God.
