'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee

Author: Henry Montague Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee; here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' Even so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 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 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. 4 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!'

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, unuttered or expressed, the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glancing of an eye, when none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air; their watchword at the gates of death; they enter heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is not made by us alone: the Holy Spirit pleads, and Jesus, on the eternal throne, for sinners intercedes. 6 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way: the path of prayer yourself have trod, Lord, teach us how to pray.
