Music: My All Is on the Altar Phoebe P. Knapp (🔊 pdf nwc).
My body, soul and spirit,
Jesus, I give to Thee,
A consecrated offering,
Thine evermore to be.
Refrain
My all is on the altar,
I’m waiting for the fire;
Waiting, waiting, waiting,
I’m waiting for the fire.
O Jesus, mighty Savior,
I trust in Thy great name;
I look for Thy salvation,
Thy promise now I claim.
Refrain
O let the fire, descending
Just now upon my soul,
Consume my humble offering,
And cleanse and make me whole!
Refrain
I’m Thine, O blessèd Jesus,
Washed by Thy precious blood,
Now seal me by thy Spirit
A sacrifice to God.
