4 But ye who are the Saints of God, As this is Fire divine; So let Devils strive and do their worst, It in thy Soul shall shine;
5 Though not always to such degree Your sin deaden may, And therefore see you careful be To cherish it each day;
6 And sing God's praise continually, Who makes the Fire burn, And pray that he would blow it up, Till all your work is done;
7 And also cry unto the Lord This Fire to kindle round about, And sweetly burn in every place, And never be put out.
7 And also cry unto the Lord This Fire to kindle round about, And sweetly burn in ev'ry place, And never be put out.
