| | Ezekiel 1:4 |
| 1. | There's a stormy wind a-blowing from the |
| | north; |
| | Let it blow! Let it blow! |
| | God as our exp'rience will the wind bring |
| | forth; |
| | Let it blow! Let it blow! |
| | Let it blow! the rushing might wind; |
| | Let it blow us into life! |
| | Let it blow! the gracious wind of God; |
| | Let it blow us into Christ! |
| 2. | There's a hov'ring cloud a-following the wind, |
| | Covering us! Covering us! |
| | And the presence of the Lord the cloud does |
| | bring, |
| | Covering us! Covering us! |
| | Covering us, God's overshadowing cloud- |
| | God has come to stay with us. |
| | Covering us, the gracious cloud of God- |
| | Strength and comfort glorious! |
| 3. | With the cloud continually a fire does flash |
| | Burning us! Burning us! |
| | It exposes sin, the soul life, and the flesh, |
| | Burning us! Burning us! |
| | Let it burn! the jealous flame of God; |
| | Let it burn continually! |
| | Let it burn! this all-consuming flame; |
| | Let it burn us thoroughly! |
| 4. | Then from out the fire does the electrum glow, |
| | Shining forth! Shining forth! |
| | The redeeming God does our experience show, |
| | Shining forth! Shining forth! |
| | Let Him shine! This gold and silver One; |
| | Let Him shine for all to see! |
| | 'Tis the Lamb-God who has now become |
| | Our enjoyment inwardly. |
| 5. | Let the wind, cloud, fire and th' electrum be |
| | Wrought in us, o'er and o'er; |
| | Let this cycle be repeated constantly |
| | More and more, more and more! |
| | Blow and hover, burn and shine forth, Lord, |
| | All our being to possess, |
| | That we all may gain Thee constantly |
| | All Thy likeness to express. |
