Text: | We Lift Our Hearts, O Father |
Author: | Edward Ashurst Welch, 1860-1932 |
Tune: | WE LIFT OUR HEARTS |
Composer: | Carl Schalk, 1929- |
1 We lift our hearts, O Father,
To thee our voices raise,
For these thy suppliant servants
in mingled prayer and praise:
2 Praise for the joy of loving,
All other joys above,
Praise for the priceless blessing
Of love's response to love;
3 Prayer that the glad surrender
Of self may perfect be,
That each be one with other,
An both be one in thee;
4 Prayer that thou wilt accomplish
The promise of today
And crown the years with blessing
That shall not pass away;
5 Praise for the hope most glorious
That looks beyond the veil,
Where faith and hope shall vanish,
But love shall never fail.
