How doth the generous flame within Refine from earth, and cleanse from sin ! 3 Their streaming eyes together flow For human guilt and mortal wo ; Their ardent prayers together rise, Like mingling flames in sacrifice. 4 Together both they seek the place Where God reveals his awful face : How high, how strong, their raptures swell.
