GET THE FLAME!

(Evan Roberts’ Message to the Churches.)

While the fire of God is falling,
While the voice of God is calling,
Brothers, “Get the Flame!”
While the torch of God is burning,
Men’s weak efforts overturning
Christians, “Get the Flame!”

While the Holy Ghost is pleading,
Human methods superceding,
He Himself the “Flame.”
While the power hard hearts is bending,
Yield thy own, to Him surrendering,
All to “Get the Flame!”

For the world at last is waking,
And beneath His spell is breaking,
Into living flame.
And our glorious Lord is seeking,
Human hearts, to rouse the sleeping,
Fired with Heavenly Flame.

If in utter life-surrender,
You would work with Christ, remember
You must “Get the Flame!”
For the sake of bruised and dying,
And the lost in darkness lying,
We must “Get the Flame!”

For the sake of Christ in glory,
And the spreading of the story,
We must “Get the Flame!”
Oh, my soul, for thy refining,
And thy clearer brighter shining,
Do not miss the Flame.

On the Holy Ghost relying,
Simply trusting and not trying,
You will “Get the Flame.”
Brothers, let us cease our dreaming.
And while God’s flood-tide is streaming,
We will have the Flame.
