Leviticus 9:24: Sent, through Jesus, from the skies

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Sent, through Jesus, from the skies,
Spirit of burning, come;
Kindle on the sacrifice,
And all our sins consume:
While Thou dost Thyself reveal.
Our persons, and our works ai)prove.
All our ravish'd souls shall feel
The fire of heavenly love.

Father, trusting in Thy Son,
I bow to Jesu's name,
Glows my heart with warmth unknown.
With pure seraphic flame:
Lost in wonder at Thy grace,
I fall the pardoning God before,
Breathe unutterable praise,
And silently adore.
