73. THE FLAME OF JESUS’ LOVE

Previous
Next

​Author:  Georg Friedrich Fickert (1758-1815)
​Composer:  Johann Gottfried Schicht (1753-1823)​

​1. O that Thy ardent flames were kindled,
    Unfathomable depth of love!
    May all the universe acknowledge
    That Thou art King and Lord above.
 
2. Already it doth burn with brightness;
    See here and there in west and east,
    To Thee the Lamb as ransom offered,
    A glorious pentecostal feast.
 
3. And still this heav’nly spark igniteth
    So many cold and lifeless hearts;
    It fills the longing soul with gladness
    And heals from sin and Satan’s darts.
 
4. All self-esteem and pride destroying,
    Removes impure and guilty stain;
    The streams of Jesus’ love enjoying,
    By which we God’s rich grace obtain.
 
5. Thou never ceasing, living fountain,
    Almighty witness, ever true,
    Thy grace and love may not be wasted,
    Inflame our hearts with love anew!
 
6. O link together what has scattered,
    Complete Thy temple! Keep Thy vows!
    Illuminate with sacred brightness
    The holy church, Thy Father’s house!
 
7. Revive, inflame, redeem, enlighten
    Ere long all peoples through Thy word;
    Appear to ev’ry tribe and nation
    As Saviour, Prince of Peace, and Lord!
 
8. Then from the lips of countless numbers
    The songs of Jubilee will flow;
    Thy fame shall sound from ev’ry region
    And all the ransomed saints will glow.

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
