704 O thou who camest from above

1 O thou who camest from above the fire celestial to impart, kindle a flame of sacred love upon the altar of my heart.

2 There let it for thy glory burn with ever bright, undying blaze, and trembling to its source return in humble prayer and fervent praise.

3 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.

4 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.
