Now from the altar of our hearts

Let warmest thanks arise;

Assist us, Lord, to offer up

Our evening sacrifice.

This day our God has been our sun,

Our keeper and our guide,

His arm around our weakness thrown,

His angels at our side.

Moments and mercies multiplied

Have made up all the day;

Moments came fast, but mercies were

More swift and free than they.

New hours, new blessings, and new joys,

Do a new song require;

Till we can praise Thee as we should,

Accept our hearts’ desire!
