Songs of Praise and Salvation ‎#59

59. Now I Feel the Sacred Fire

1 Now I feel the sacred fire,
Kindling, flaming, glowing,
Higher still and rising higher,
All my soul o’erflowing;
Life immortal I receive;
O the wondrous story!
I was dead, but now I live,
Glory! glory! glory!

2 Now I am from bondage freed,
Every bond is riven;
Jesus makes me free indeed,
Just as free as heaven:
‘Tis a glorious liberty;
O the wondrous story!
I was bound, but now I’m free,
Glory! glory! glory!

3 Let the testimony roll,
Roll through every nation;
Witnessing from soul to soul,
This immense salvation,
Now I know it’s full and free;
O the wondrous story!
For I feel it saving me,
Glory! glory! glory!

4 Glory be to God on high,
Glory be to Jesus!
He hath brought salvation nigh,
From all sin he frees us,
Let the golden harps of God
Ring the wondrous story;
Let the pilgrim shout aloud
Glory! glory! glory!
