Yesterday was the commemoration of John Wesley (7191) and his brother Charles Wesley (1799), renewers of the church

                                 Collect for John and Charles Wesley 

Kindle 
in us
such fervor, that those whose faith has cooled 
    may be warmed and
        those who have not known 
                Christ may turn to him.
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy from heaven to earth come down, fix in us they humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown. Changed from glory into glory, til in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before  thee, lost in wonder, love and praise.
Charles Wesley  v.1,3

The Collect says "Kindle in your Church
such fervor" and I used that at first but it kind of puts it at second hand.... and in deference to John and Charles I am changing it to 
KINDLE IN US. Not in them, but in us, 
in you, in me.
