Our God is a consuming flame.
Who then can stand when He shall come?
The glory bright about His name
Shall strike the wicked, smite them dumb.

Who then can stand when He shall come?
Let dross beware! Refiner's fire
Shall strike the wicked, smite them dumb--
We all rebelled and earned His ire.

Let dross beware refiner's fire!
I bend, I bow, for I have learnt
We all rebelled and earned His ire.
Who then can walk through flames unburnt?

I bend, I bow, for I have learnt
His grace alone can purge man's soul,
Who then can walk through flames unburnt,
Empowered, His people, ransomed, whole.

His grace alone can purge man's soul.
The glory bright about His name
Empowered His people, ransomed whole.
Our God is a consuming flame!
