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.
