CC. Baptism with the Holy Spirit and Fire

1 Jesus, in ancient days,
Thine Isr'el saw the flame
From heav'n descend, to visit earth,
And prais'd thy glorious name.

2 Give us to join their song,
To hail thee, ever good:
And mid the fire, may we adore,
Th' unchanging, gracious God.

3 Thy fan, shall purge the floor:
Thy fire, the chaff destroy:
And gath'ring of the cleansed wheat,
Thy sheave shall sing for joy.
