1 Kings 18:38: The fire of the Lord fell, and consumed, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Without that sin-consuming fire,
And teach, as taught by the old liar,
"Sin cannot be consumed in man!"
But who ElijaJCs God believe.
And wait His coming from above,
We shall the Holy Ghost receive.
The Spirit pure of burning love.
