3 Fire is of an ascending kind, It mounts things up aloft; So they mount up in heart and mind, Who by thy Word are taught;
4 As fired are by thy own Spirit, Thy Word without that, Lord, ⟨p. 218⟩Will never burn, nor raise our hearts (As we have newly heard.)
4 As fir'd are by thy own Spirit, Thy Word without that, Lord, ⟨p. 218⟩Will never burn, nor raise our hearts (As we have newly heard.)

6 'Tis that which bends & makes us yield, And humbles much the heart, Which naturally was proud and vain, And too obdurate.
