Oh, my brother, can you say
That you feel the burning love of God
In thy bosom day by day?

Filling all my soul’s desire;
Oh, how sweet its glories ever shine!
Now I feel the glowing fire.

Swept away thy sinful stain?
And does heaven’s glory in Thee shine,
Ever bright and holy flame?

Filling all my soul’s desire;
Oh, how sweet its glories ever shine!
Now I feel the glowing fire.

[*And this moment]
That the love of God is burning clear
In thy heart as white as snow?

Filling all my soul’s desire;

Filling all thy mortal frame?
And does all thy heart forever pour
Streams of glory to His name?

Oh, how sweet its glories ever shine!
Now I feel the glowing fire.

Guard it from each vain desire;
When thy soul the
perfect price hath paid,
God will send the holy fire.

Yes, ’tis love, ’tis burning love divine,
Filling all my soul’s desire;
Oh, how sweet its glories ever shine!
Now I feel the glowing fire.
