"Keep the incense burning"

" Keep the incense burning" On the altar fire; Let thy heart's petition, Let thy deep desire, Be a cloud of incense Wreathing God's own throne, Till His will among us Shall be fully done.

" Keep the incense burning" On the altar fire; Feed the flame, Lord Jesus, Till Thy whole desire Shall in us, Thy children, Find free course, and be Breathed through lips anointed For this ministry.

" Keep the incense burning" Though the faith be weak; Though in words thou canst not All thy longings speak; Silent heart-petitions, Spirit-taught, will be Gloriously answered; Wrought by God for thee.

" Keep the incense burning" Hourly let it rise, Till from opened heavens, Till from flame-swept skies, Fire shall fall and kindle All hearts to a flame; Making us a glory To our Savior's name.
