When the fire came down.
Or be per­fect­ly blest,
Where you are saved and blest.
Two al­tars on a hill­side made,
Two al­tars on a hill­side made,
Here the tem­ple, here the throne,
Keep us all with­in thy care;
Wear thy ves­ture, priest!
The in­cense and the bleed­ing lamb,
start
To the house of praise and pray­er;

the al­tar

It fell up­on the al­tar,
Is your all on the al­tar of sac­ri­fice laid?
In sweet con­tent­ment bow;
Let Him be God, who hears our cry,
Let Him be God, who hears our cry,
Of our king, this gen­tle Child,
Guard the steps that far may roam.
Pray, with fer­vor, pray,
Predictions in abun­dance meet
Gives no de­light to Thee;
Breathing there a sweet per­fume.
