Now from the Altar of My Heart

Author: John Mason (1645?-1694) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now from the altar of my heart let incense flames arise; assist me, Lord, to offer up my evening sacrifice. 2 Awake, my love; awake, my joy; awake, my heart and tongue! Sleep not: when mercies loudly call, break forth into a song. 3 This day my God was sun and shield, my keeper and my guide. His care was on my frailty shown, his mercies multiplied. 4 New time, new favour, and new joys do a new song require; till I shall praise thee as I would, accept my heart's desire.

Fountain of mercy, God of love

Author: Alice Flowerdew, 1759-1830 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fountain of mercy, God of love, how rich Your bounties are! The rolling seasons, as they move proclaim Your constant care. 2 When in the bosom of the earth the sower hid the grain, Your goodness marked its secret birth, and sent the early rain. 3 You gave the influence of spring; the plants in beauty grew; the summer came it sun to bring, and mild refreshing dew. 4 These various mercies from above matured the swelling grain; a yellow harvest crowns Your love, and plenty fills the plain. 5 Seed-time and harvest, Lord, alone Your love on us bestows; let us not then forget to own from whom such blessing flows. 6 Fountain of love, our praise we bring; to You our songs we'll raise; and all created nature sing in glad exultant praise.
