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.
