You have longed for sweet peace,
And for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed
But you cannot have rest,or be perfectly blessed
Till your all on the altar is laid.

CHORUS
Is your heart on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blessed
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 always
You must do His sweet will
To be free from all ill
When your all on the altar is laid.

CHORUS
Is your heart on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blessed
And have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.

Oh we never can know,
What the Lord can bestow,
Of the blessings of which we have prayed
Till our body and soul
He doth fully control
And our all on the altar is laid.

CHORUS
Is your heart on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blessed
And have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.

Who can tell of 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.

CHORUS
Is your heart on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blessed
And have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.
