'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord

Author: H. M. Butler (1833-1918) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #366b (1987) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Fall Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord, and give to God our thanks with one accord; it is our joy and duty, all our days to lift our hearts in grateful thanks and praise. 2 Above the level of the former years, the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears, the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay — O Lord of light, lift all our hearts today! 3 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! 4 Above the storms that darken human life - pride, jealousy and envy, rage and strife; where cold mistrust holds friend and friend apart — O Lord of love, lift every Christian heart! 5 Then, with the trumpet call as Christ appears, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings, pealing in our ears: still shall our hearts respond with full accord — 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!'

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Falling and recovered; Peter's fall and recovery First Line: How did the powers of darkness rage Lyrics: 1 How did the powers of darkness rage Against the son of God! While cruel men on earth engage To shed his precious blood. 2 His friends forsook him with surprise, When that dread scene began; And one perfidiously denies He ever knew the man. 3 How feeble human efforts prove Against temptation's power! E'en Peter's flaming zeal and love Are vanquish'd in an hour. 4 His firmest purpose will not stand Behold his guilt and shame! Lord, keep me by thy mighty hand, Or I shall do the same. 5 At length the suffering Savior turns, And looks with pitying eyes; Peter relents, withdraws and mourns, And loud for mercy cries. 6 So boundless is Jehovah's grace, He hears the humble prayer; If I am found in Peter's case, I would not still dispair. 7 Look on me, Lord, with eyes of love, My wandering soul restore; My guilt forgive, my fears remove, And let me sin no more.

Let me be by grace restor'd, On me be all its freeness shewn; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 2 Savior, prince, enthron'd above, Repentance to impart, Give me, thro' thy dying love, The humble, contrite heart; Give, what I have long implor'd, A portion of thy grief unknown; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3 See me, Savior, from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life and happiness, and love, Smile in thy gracious eye; Speak the reconciling word, And let thy mercy melt me down; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 4 Look, as when thy pitying eye Was clos'd that we might live; "Father (at the point to die, My Savior gasp'd) forgive!" Surely with thy dying word, He turns, and looks, and cries, "'Tis done!" O! my loving, bleeding Lord, This breaks my heart of stone. Languages: English

A lovely youth falling short of Heaven

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: A lovely youth falling short of heaven First Line: Must all the charms of nature then Lyrics: 1 Must all the charms of nature then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heaven condemn The man whom Jesus deigns to love?— 2 The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbours all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, Who thought he wanted nothing new? 3 But mark the change: thus spake the Lord, "Come, part with earth for heaven to-day," The youth, astonish'd at the word, In silent sadness went his way. 4 Poor virtues, that he boasted so, This test unable to endure, Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! 5 Ah foolish choice of treasures here! Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee.
