O thou who camest from above
Words:  Charles Wesley, 1762
Tune: Hereford  
O thou who camest from above
the fire celestial to impart,
kindle  a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.
There let it  for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its  source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise.
Jesus, confirm my  heart's desire
to work and speak and think for thee;
still let me guard  the holy fire
and still stir up the gift in me.
Still let me prove  thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless  mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete!
Selah.
