Where is the Light of the First Love


Where is the light of the first love,
Fiery devotion I knew,
Once when my heart was so tender,
Once when my motives were true?
Where is the flame of the blow-torch,
Strong for my Lord and His lost
Joy in devotion and purpose,
Grace that has counted the cost?

Think of how far I have fallen!
I must return to the cross
Linger in silence before Him
Count all attainments as loss
Turn from my sin to His mercy
Ponder His wonderful ways
Fall on my face and cry Holy
Sing Him a new song of praise

Oh, oh, oh, Hallelujah! Oh, oh, oh, Hallelujah!
Oh, oh, oh, Hallelujah! Oh, oh, oh, Hallelujah!
