The God Who Answers by Fire

Two al­tars on a hill­side made

Two of­fer­ings on the al­tar laid;

Let Him be God

who hears our cry

And send­eth fire down from on high.

From morn­ing light till close of day

Hear Baal’s pro­phets loud­ly pray.

The God who an­swers by fire

The God who an­swers by fire

Let Him

let Him

let Him be God.

The God who an­swers by fire

The God who an­swers by fire

Let Him

let Him

let Him be God.

But now the faith­ful pro­phet

see

Upon his God calls might­ily:

Among the peo­ple be it known

That Thou art God

and Thou alone.

And ev­en while Eli­jah calls

Behold

the fire from Heav­en falls.

Upon God’s al­tars still we lay

Our hum­ble of­fer­ings day by day;

Unworthy tho’ the sac­ri­fice

The gift of love He sanc­ti­fies

He heeds the heart’s sin­cere desire

And sends the Ho­ly Ghost and fire.

Ascribe to God for­ev­er­more

Thanksgiving

hon­or

love and pow­er;

To God the Fa­ther

God the Son

And God the Spir­it

three in One.

In songs of praise as­cend­ing high­er

To Him who an­swers still by fire.
