Thou Christ of burning

- Thou Christ of burning, cleansing flame,
- send the fire, send the fire!
- Thy blood-bought gift today we claim,
- send the fire, send the fire!
- Look down and see this waiting host,
- give us the promised Holy Ghost,
- we want another Pentecost,
- send the fire, send the fire!
- God of Elijah, hear our cry!
- Oh, make us fit to live or die!
- To burn up every trace of sin,
- to bring the light and glory in,
- the revolution now begin.
- 'This fire we want, for fire we plead,
- the fire will meet our every need,
- for strength to ever do the right,
- for grace to conquer in the fight,
- for power to walk the world in white.
- To make our weak hearts strong and brave,
- to live a dying world to save;
- oh, see us on Thy altar lay
- our lives, our all, this very day;
- to crown the offering now, we pray
