He rear'd to God an altar there,
And offer'd sacrifice,
And kneeling with his family,
To heaven did lift his eyes.

And God was pleased with Noah's praise,
And witnessed from above
The offering which in faith he made,
And blest him with His love.

Jehovah said--"I will no more,
Destroy or curse the ground,
But will display my love and grace,
Wherever life is found."

How tender, loving is the Lord,
Whose anger does not burn
Forever 'gainst the sons of men,
But calls them to return.

He says to men--"Repent and live,
And all my law obey,
And I your strength and hope shall be,
Through all life's devious way."

O! sacrifice to God in faith,
And all your sins confess,
And with the riches of His love,
He will your spirits bless.
