"Is Your ALL on the Altar?"

By Elisha A. Hoffman

[From time to time we feature anointed lyrics

from time-honored songs or hymns of Faith]

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.

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.

Who can tell all the Love

He will send from Above,

And how happy our hearts will be made;

Of the fellowship sweet,

we shall share at His feet,

When our ALL on the Altar is laid.

(Refrain)

Is your ALL on the Altar of Sacrifice laid?

And 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.
