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.

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.
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.

On the altar your all you must lay.

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.
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.
Oh, we never can know what the Lord will bestow

Till our body and soul He doth fully control,
And our all on the altar is laid.
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.

Who can tell all the love He will send from 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!
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!
Who can tell all the love He will send from 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!
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!

Lord, I thank You for putting this song in my spirit today.
Thank You Holy Spirit for raising this song of Zion up from within me today.

Thank you and God bless you for making this beautiful hymn available.
I love this hymn for the truth it brings out so clearly - esp. in this day and age when sacrifice is shadowed under the influence of selfishness and wickedness.
