LyicsQUICK as the vital spark inspires
This mortal flesh of ours,
So quick the word of Jesus fires
The soul's immortal powers.
He speaks, our slumbering spirits wake
Astonished and renewed,
And mounting up, his grace partake,
With strength divine endued.
We walk, we run, we leap, we fly,
Along the heavenly way:
'Scaped from the jaws of death, on high,
We seek a brighter day.
