On the Altar
On God’s altar I offer my life
I refuse to make a flight
For to work in me His life
To the altar I must stay tight
Though it pains
Yet it pays
For much are the gains
Daily on the altar as I stay
Service offered to Christ
My life and devotion His to have
Till Him I see at last
Forever Jesus I’ll serve
My Noble Vine
How did you turn out this way?
You were of My choicest stock.
“I had planted you a noble vine
A seed of highest quality
How then have you turned before Me
Into the degenerate plant of an alien vine?”
(Jeremiah 2:21)
