Hymn using same tune: Tune 2: #769

 
 1 

In the wilderness for God!

Just a common bush aflame!

Thus may I be, blessed Lord,

For the glory of Thy Name.

 
 2 

Just a common bush to be,

Something in which God can dwell,

Something thru which God can speak,

Something thru which God can tell,

 
 3 

All His yearning over men,

All His purposes of love,

Flaming with no light of earth,

But with glory from above:

 
 4 

God Himself within the bush,

Nothing seen but just the flame;

Make me that, just that, O God,

For the glory of Thy Name.
