Seed times of tears have oft been found With sheaves of joy and plenty crowned. 4 We meet to part, but part to meet When earthly labors are complete, To join in yet more blest employ, In an eternal world of joy.

O for that flame of living fire

Author: Wm. H. Bathurst Appears in 93 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 O for that flame of living fire Which shone so bright in saints of old; Which bade their souls to heaven aspire, Calm in distress, in danger bold! 2 Where is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abram's breast, and scaled him thine? Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine? 3 That spirit which from age to age Proclaimed thy love, and taught thy ways? Brightened Isaiah's vivid page, And breathed in David's hallowed lays? 4 Is not thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its power? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour? 5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days; Renew thy work, thy grace restore; And while to thee our hearts we raise, On us thy Holy Spirit pour.
