04/29/2002 Entry: "More from Charles W."

I feel another burst of Wesley coming on...

O Thou who camest from above,the pure celestial fire to impartkindle a flame of sacred loveon the mean altar of my heart.

There let it for thy glory burnwith inextinguishable blaze,and trembling to its source return,in humble prayer and fervent praise.

Jesus, confirm my heart's desireto work and speak and think for thee;still let me guard the holy fire,and still stir up thy gift in me -

Ready for all thy perfect will,my acts of faith and love repeat,till death thy endless mercies seal,and make the sacrifice complete.

Only CW could get away with 'inextinguishable' and still have a singable hymn. Great stuff!

That's another of my real favourites - but forgot to mention it on the hymn thread. Wesley was fantastic with words!
