Elijah once stood praying, Elijah once stood praying, That God would send an answer, When the fire came down. Refrain 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. Refrain I took my sins to Jesus, I took my sins to Jesus; I laid them on the altar, When the fire came down. Refrain For fuller consecration, For fuller consecration, Once more I sought the altar, When the fire came down. Refrain Great glory filled the temple, Great glory filled the temple; I caught a sight of Heaven, When the fire came down. Refrain
