See how great

- See how great a flame aspires,
- kindled by a spark of grace!
- Jesus' 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!
- When He first the work begun,
- small and feeble was His day;
- now the word 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.
- Sons of God, your Saviour praise!
- He the door hath opened wide;
- He hath given the word of grace,
- Jesus' word is glorified;
- Jesus, mighty to redeem,
- He alone the work hath wrought;
- worthy is the work of Him,
- Him who spake a world from nought.
- Saw ye not the cloud arise,
- little as a human hand?
- 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!
