Lift Up Our Hearts, O King of Kings
Author: John H. B. Masterman (1867-1933); alt. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up our hearts, O King of Kings,
To brighter hopes and kindlier things;
To visions of a larger good,
And holier dreams of brotherhood.
2 Thy world is weary of its pain,
Of selfish greed and fruitless gain,
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,
And all its ancient deeds of wrong.
3 Almighty Father, who dost give
The gift of life to all who live,
Look down on all earth's sin and strife,
And lift us to a holier life.

O God, You Made the Sabbath Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: O God, you made the Sabbath day,
Your gift, your law, your healing way.
You also made, within each heart
A longing for this day apart.
You gave your children, long-oppressed,
Your freeing gift of Sabbath rest.
You give us Sabbath freedom, too:
Our lives are more than work we do!
Life’s sacred rhythm seems long gone;
The world, unblinking, carries on.
Your Spirit calls us! Slow our pace
That we may hear your word of grace.
Christ Jesus lives! He makes us new!
On Sundays now, we worship you.
With hearts uplifted, joy restored,
Your church goes out to serve you, Lord.

Ere the Blue Heav'ns Were Stretched Abroad
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ere the blue heav’ns were stretched abroad,
From everlasting was the Word:
With God He was; the Word was God,
And must divinely be adored.
2. By His own power were all things made;
By Him supported all things stand;
He is the whole creation’s Head,
And angels fly at His command.
3. Ere sin was born, or Satan fell,
He led the host of morning stars:
Thy generation who can tell,
Or count the numbers of Thy years?
4. But lo! He leaves those heav’nly forms,
The Word descends and dwells in clay,
That He may hold converse with worms,
Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.
5. Mortals with joy beheld His face,
Th’ eternal Father’s only Son;
How full of truth! how full of grace!
When through His eyes the Godhead shone.
6. Archangels leave their high abode
To learn new mysteries here, and tell
The loves of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel. Used With Tune: TRURO Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book I, 1707, number 2
