How the Fire Fell

I've spent some time listening to some of the old hymns that are no longer sung in many churches and have been blessed beyond measure. They're available at [url=www.cyberhymnal.org]Wonderful old hymns[/url].

Here's one of my favorites "How the Fire Fell" by a dear brother named Johnson Oatman, Jr. It's based on 1 Kings 18:38 "The fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench." This is a picture of revival. May the fire fall in every willing heart.

I’ve been on Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
And I’ve satisfied my longing heart’s desire;
For I caught a glimpse of glory bright,
And my soul is burning with the fire.

Refrain

O the fire is burning, yes, ’tis brightly burning,
O ’tis burning, burning in my soul;
O the fire is burning, yes, ’tis brightly burning,
O ’tis burning, burning in my soul.

I will walk with Jesus, bless His Name,
And to be like Him I ev’ry day aspire;
For His love is like a heav’nly flame,
And my soul is burning with the fire.

Refrain

I my all upon the altar lay,
As I to my closet lovingly retire;
And the flame consumes while there I pray,
And my soul is burning with the fire.

Refrain

By faith’s eye I scan the ocean’s foam,
And beyond I see the haven I desire;
There I view the beacon lights of home,
And my soul is burning with the fire.

Refrain

Carter Conlon wrote this Song when he was
going through a trial.

Chorus
All of Jesus
All of Jesus.
All of Jesus none of me.
All of Jesus
All of Jesus.
All of Jesus
None of me.

The Fire will fall, and consume all the dross.

Thanks for sharing the old Hymn.
I put the site in my Favorites, so I can listen to them.
