150. All On the Altar for Jesus

1 My life on the altar for Jesus
In glad consecration I lay,
To be used when and where as He pleases,
Or just set aside, as He may;
To be used when and where as He pleases,
Or just set aside, as He may.

Refrain:
Take me, and make me
All Thou wouldst have me to be;
Fill me and use me!
Have Thy way, Lord, in me.

2 Perhaps I by fire must be tested,
As gold in the furnace must be,
Until his own image reflected
My Lord, the Refiner, shall see;
Until his own image reflected
My Lord, the Refiner, shall see. [Refrain]

3 It may be my life must be moulded
As is by the potter the clay;
Or e’en as the marble is chiseled
By blow after blow, day by day;
Or e’en as the marble is chiseled
By blow after blow, day by day. [Refrain]

4 I take the path rugged and lonely
The Savior before me has gone;
It matters but little, if only
At last I may hear His “Well done,”
It matters but little, if only
At last I may hear His “Well done.” [Refrain]
