1. Now from the altar of our hearts
Let flames of love arise;
Assist us, Lord, to offer up
Our evening sacrifice.

2 Minutes and mercies multiplied
Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet and free than they.

3 New time, new favours, and new joys
Do a new song require;
Till we shall praise Thee as we would,
Accept our hearts' desire.
