The Altar Annotated

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