See How Great a Flame Aspires

G                               
See how great a flame aspires, 
C            G               
kindled by a spark of grace.
                                
Jesus' love the nations fires, 
C                 G          
sets the kingdoms on ablaze.
                          D     
To bring fire on earth he came,
        G                   D 
kindled in some hearts it is;
  G                               
O that all might catch the flame,
C               G               
all partake the glorious bliss!
