Burn, burn, O love, within my heart,
Burn fiercely night and day,
Till all the dross of earthly loves
Is burned, and burned away.

What limit is there to this love?
Thy flight, where wilt Thou stay?
On, on! our Lord is sweeter far
Today than yesterday.

Somehow the third verse of this hymn came to me this morning. We lost a family member this week. He was only 22 years old. Verse 3 gave me comfort. “ Oh light in darkness joy in grief, oh heavens light on earth. The Lords love is so strong it gives me joy even though I’m still in grief. This is the power of God. No unbeliever could ever understand this. Heavens light is Christ on this earth. He is the light in our darkest hour. Oh how He loves us and we can experience this great love.

This song truly is a treasure. This brother who wrote this shares about an intimate relationship of love with God. He keeps saying Lord abide in me. The more we know Christ the more we say abide with me. We must abide so He can abide. His abiding brings us more into His love. We then say “Oh Lord with me abide! ”. I like verse one where it says He is my reward. His very self is my reward!
