Verse 1
Anka manya nkwa gyaframa` a Ɛdɛw tete hotefo mun'; Ɛmaa wɔn kra kɔn dɔɔ s'ro man, Yɛɛ ateetee ne mmusum' komm.
Verse 2
Abram komam' honhom-a` ɛhyɛɛn' Agy'rae maa Won' wɔ he, Aw'raa` Ɛmaa Paulo koma dii yaw, De Nyame ahoɔden hyerɛn.
Verse 3
Honhom-a efi tete b're so, Kaa Wo dɔ no ky'rɛky'rɛ W'akwan, Ɛhy'rɛn Yesaia nwoma mu, Na Dawid nso de too ne nnwom.
Verse 4
Ɛnnɛ de Wo dom no nyɛ den, Sɛ dá a Elia tee ne tum' no? B're a Mose anim hyerɛn, Na Hiob dii sɔhwɛ so nim no?
Verse 5
Yehowa, kae tete b're so, Nyan W'adwuma ne Wo dom no; Yɛde yɛn koma remaW' yi, Hwie Honhom Kronkron gu yɛn so.
English Lyrics
Verse 1
O for that flame of living fire Which shone so bright in saints of old: Which bade their souls to heaven aspire Calm in distress in danger bold!
Verse 2
Where is that spirit, Lord which dwelt In Abraham's breast, and sealed him Thine? Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine?
Verse 3
That spirit which from age to age Proclaim Thy love, and taught Thy ways? Brightened Isaiah's vivid page, And breathed in David's hallowed lays?
Verse 4
Is not Thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its power? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour?
Verse 5
Remember, Lord, the ancient days; Renew Thy work, Thy grace restore; And while to Thee our hearts we raise, On us Thy Holy Spirit pour.
