The Altar

 
 
 

A broken ALTAR, Lord, thy servant rears,
Made of a heart and cemented with tears;
   Whose parts are as thy hand did frame;
   No workman's tool hath touched the same.
            A HEART alone
           Is such a stone,
          As nothing but
            Thy power doth cut.
            Wherefore each part
            Of my hard heart
            Meets in this frame
            To praise thy name.
     That if I chance to hold my peace,
     These stones to praise thee may not cease.
Oh, let thy blessed SACRIFICE be mine,
And sanctify this ALTAR to be thine.
