Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduing, wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame! We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing, the will that lacks the courage to be free, the weary labours, all but unavailing, to bring us nearer what a church should be. 2 Lord of the Church, we seek a Father's blessing, a true repentance and a faith restored, a swift obedience and a new possessing, filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord! We turn to Christ from all our restless striving, unnumbered voices with a single prayer: the living water for our souls' reviving, in Christ to live, and love and serve and care. 3 Lord of the Church, we long for our uniting, true to one calling, by one vision stirred; one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting, one in the truth of Jesus and his word. So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended, one Church triumphant one new song shall sing, to praise his glory, risen and ascended, Christ over all, the everlasting King!

No home on earth is like it, Or can with it compare; For every one is happy, Nor could be happier, there. 3 There's a crown for little children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look for Jesus Shall wear it by and by; A crown of brightest glory, Which He will then bestow On all who've found His favour And loved His name below. 4 There's a song for little children Above the bright blue sky, A song that will not weary Though sung continually, A song which even angels Can never, never sing; They know not Christ as Saviour, But worship Him as King. 5 There's a robe for little children Above the bright blue sky, And a harp of sweetest music, And a palm of victory. All, all above is treasured, And found in Christ alone; O come, dear little children, That all may be your own. Used With Tune: IN MEMORIAM
