Coils Of Fragrant Sacrifice

The prayers of the righteous,
Come before Him as incense:
Wreathing and wafting,
In coils of fragrant sacrifice,
Up to the heavenlies;
Propelled by the fires
Of unutterable love,
Alight in the soul
Of the redeemed;
Tended, and stirred,
To an impassioned blaze,
By the Spirit of God;
And fed commonly,
Morning and evening,
By fresh coals
From the altar of Golgatha.
