If time were ever to wear you away 

And circumstance should bind me 

If age should bring a dark night on my soul 

If fear and doubt should bind me 



Please stir my heart 

Take me back to the fire 

And bring to me recollections of joy 

And renew my first desire 



If pains and trials come to me 

And I cannot stand strong 

If fools adjust my theories 

To believe your truth is wrong 



Please stir my heart 

Take me back to the fire 

And bring to me recollections of joy 

And renew my first desire 



I swear it will never happen to me 

But how I can I know 

For Peter swore the same to thee 

Oh, hear the cock crow 



Please stir my heart 

Take me back to the fire 

And bring to me recollections of joy 

And renew my first desire 



Please stir my heart 

Take me back to the fire 

Ooh
