EN 5984 Now from the Altar of My Heart

Rev.8.4

Versi Version 1

1

Now from the altar of my heart

Let incense flames arise;

Assist me, Lord, to offer up

Mine evening sacrifice.

2

Awake, my love! Awake, my joy!

Awake, my heart and tongue!

Sleep not: when mercies loudly call,

Break forth into a song.

3

This day God was my Sun and Shield,

My Keeper and my Guide;

His care was on my frailty shown,

His mercies multiplied.

4

Minutes and mercies multiplied

Have made up all this day;

Minutes came quick but mercies were

More fleet and free than they.

5

New time, new favor, and new joys

Do a new song require;

Till I shall praise Thee as I would,

Accept my heart’s desire.

6

Man’s life’s a book of history,

The leaves thereof are days,

The letters mercies closely joined,

The title is Thy praise.

7

Lord of my time, whose hand hath set

New time upon my score,

Then I shall praise for all my time,

When time shall be no more.
