Lyics

NOW from the altar of our hearts

Let flames of love arise;

Assist us, Lord, to offer up

Our ev'ning sacrifice.



Minutes and mercies multiplied

Have made up all this day;

Minutes came quick, but mercies were

More swift and free than they.



New time, new favor, and new joys,

Do a new song require;

Till we shall praise thee as we would,

Accept our heart's desire.
