Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: Awakening Songs for the Church, Sunday School and Evangelistic Services #150 (1917) First Line: My life on the altar for Jesus Refrain First Line: Take me and make me holy in heart Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [My life on the altar for Jesus]
