NOW FROM THE ALTAR OF MY HEART Now from the altar of my heart Let incense flames arise; Assist me, Lord, to offer up Mine evening sacrifice. Awake, my love! Awake, my joy! Awake, my heart and tongue! Sleep not: when mercies loudly call, Break forth into a song. This day God was my Sun and Shield, My Keeper and my Guide; His care was on my frailty shown, His mercies multiplied. Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick but mercies were More fleet and free than they. 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. Man’s life’s a book of history, The leaves thereof are days, The letters mercies closely joined, The title is Thy praise. 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.
