You are worthy of all praise, O God; your judgment is sure.  Like a refiner’s fire, you purify your people and temper their desires.  The heat is your love for them; the flame is the Spirit’s power within; the light is the light which illumines the world.  Come, fire from above, and fill our beings, as we worship and adore our maker.
