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

2. There let it for thy glory burn
 with inextinguishable 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 thine endless mercies seal,
 and make the sacrifice complete.
