Now from the Altar of My Heart { Now from the Altar of My Heart by John Mason, 1683 SOUTHWELL-Herbert S. Irons NAOMI-Johann G. Naegeli (arr. Lowell Mason) Now from the Altar of My Heart } Now From the altar of my heart Let incense flames arise; Assist me, Lord, to offer up Mine evening sacrifice. Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More fleet and free than they. New time, new favor, and new joys Do a new song require; Till I shall praise thee as I would, Accept my heart's desire. Amen.
