| 1. | You have longed for sweet peace, and for |
| | faith to increase, |
| | And have earnestly, fervently prayed; |
| | But you cannot have rest, or be perfectly |
| | blest, |
| | Until all on the altar is laid. |
| | Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid? |
| | Your, heart, does the Spirit control? |
| | You can only be blest and have peace |
| | and sweet rest, |
| | As you yeild Him your body and soul. |
| 2. | Would you walk with the Lord in the light |
| | of His Word, |
| | And have peace and contentment alway; |
| | You must do His sweet will to be free from |
| | all ill; |
| | On the altar you all you must lay. |
| 3. | Oh, we never can know what the Lord will |
| | bestow |
| | Of the blessings for which we have prayed, |
| | Till our body and soul He doth fully |
| | control, |
| | And our all on the altar is laid. |

| | above! |
| | Oh, how happy our heart will be made! |
| | Oh, what fellowship sweet we shall share at |
| | His feet, |
| | When our all on the altar is laid! |
