Lift Up Your Hearts - Lyrics

Lift up your hearts We lift them Lord to thee
here at thy feet none other may we see
lift up your hearts Een so with one accord
we lift them up we lift them to the Lord


Above the level of the former years
the mire of sin the slough of guilty fears
the mist of doubt the blight of loves decay
O Lord of light lift all our hearts to-day


Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame
the deeds the thoughts that honour may not name
the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole
O Lord of truth lift every Christian soul


Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given
low lies the best till lifted up to heaven
low lie the bounding heart the teeming brain
till sent from God they mount to God again


Then as the trumpet-call in after years
Lift up your hearts rings pealing in our ears
still shall those hearts respond with full accord
We lift them up we lift them to the Lord
