John 2:17: I Our fervent zeal for God to show

I Our fervent zeal for God to show.
We must not with our meekness part,
Or lukewarm and indifferent grow,
To prove our gentleness of heart:
Meekness and zeal in Jesus join'd,
In saints begotten from above,
Compose, and fill the Christian mind
With purest ilames of perfect love.

Saviour, I want that ardent zeal
Which in Thy heavenly bosom glow'd,
That strong desire to do the will,
And serve the family of God:
Into my heart Thy Spirit of grace,
Of love, and true devotion pour.
To fill the consecrated place.
And all my ravish'd soul devour.
