Heavenly Fire.

"O for a spark of heavenly fire,

From the Redeemer's throne,

The pure and permanent desire

Of loving [God] alone!

The pure desire unquenchable

Ev'n now I seem to prove,

But only Thou, my God, canst tell

If Thee I wish to love.

Vouchsafe me then the wish sincere,

The wish sincere fulfil,

And stamp me with thy character

According to thy will:

Accomplish'd see thine own desires,

And O! be satisfied,

When singing with th'immortal squires

I triumph at thy side.

-From The Unpublished Poetry of Charles Wesley, Vol. 3
