When the Fire Came Down (Oatman)

Elijah once stood pray­ing

Elijah once stood pray­ing

That God would send an an­swer

When the fire came down.

It fell up­on the al­tar

It fell up­on the al­tar

Consuming ev­ery portion

When the fire came down.

Great fear fell on the peo­ple

Great fear fell on the peo­ple;

They gave to God the glo­ry

When the fire came down.

I took my sins to Je­sus

I took my sins to Je­sus;

I laid them on the al­tar

When the fire came down.

For full­er con­se­cra­tion

For full­er con­se­cra­tion

Once more I sought the al­tar

When the fire came down.

Great glo­ry filled the tem­ple

Great glo­ry filled the tem­ple;

I caught a sight of Heav­en

When the fire came down.
