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