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.RefrainIs 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 yield Him your body and soul.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 your all you must lay.RefrainO we never can knowWhat the Lord will bestowOf the blessings for which we have prayed,Till our body and soulHe doth fully control,And our all on the altar is laid.RefrainWho can tell all the loveHe will send from above,And how happy our hearts will be made,Of the fellowship sweetWe shall share at His feet,When our all on the altar is laid.Refrain
