See How Great A Flame Aspires
Verse 1
See how great a flame aspires
Kindled by a spark of grace
Jesus' love the nations fires
Set the kingdoms on a blaze
To bring fire on earth He came
Kindled in some hearts it is
O that all might catch the flame
All partake the glorious bliss


Verse 2
When He first the work begun
Small and feeble was His day
Now the Word doth swiftly run
Now it wins its widening way
More and more it spreads and grows
Ever mighty to prevail
Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows
Shakes the trembling gates of hell


Verse 3
Sons of God your Savior praise
He the door hath opened wide
He hath given the word of grace
Jesus' Word is glorified
Jesus mighty to redeem
He alone the work hath wrought
Worthy is the work of Him
Him who spake a world from naught


Verse 4
Saw ye not the cloud arise
Little as a human hand
Now it spreads along the skies
Hangs o'er all the thirsty land
Lo the promise of a shower
Drops already from above
But the Lord will shortly pour
All the Spirit of His love
Amen
