True and false zeal

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXXXVII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Zeal, true and false First Line: Zeal is that pure and heav'nly flame Lyrics: 1 Zeal is that pure and heav'nly flame, The fire of love supplies; While that which often bears the name, Is self in a disguise. 2 True zeal is merciful and mild, Can pity and forbear; The false is headstrong, fierce and wild, And breathes revenge and war. 3 While zeal for truth the Christian warms, He knows the worth of peace; But self contends for names and forms, Its party to increase. 4 Zeal has attain'd its highest aim, Its end is satisfy'd; If sinners love the Saviour's name, Nor seeks it ought beside. 5 But self however well employ'd, Has its own ends in view; And says as boasting Jehu cry'd, "Come see what I can do." 6 Self may its poor reward obtain, And be applauded here; But zeal the best applause will gain, When Jesus shall appear. 7 Dear Lord, the idol self dethrone, And from our hearts remove; And let no zeal by us be shown, But that which springs from love.
