Author: Ida Lilliard Reed Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3744 First Line: Is thy heart oppressed with sorrow? Refrain First Line: Lift thy face to the light Lyrics: 1. Is thy heart oppressed with sorrow?
Lift thy face to the light;
Dost thou dread a dark tomorrow?
Lift thy face to the light.
Still it shines unfailingly,
Just beyond the clouds for thee,
Love’s clear light, so full and free,
Lift thy face to the light.
Refrain
Lift thy face to the light,
Lift thy face to the light,
Soon all clouds will pass away,
Soon will dawn the perfect day,
Lift thy face to the light!
2. When thy dearest hopes shall fail thee,
Lift thy face to the light;
When temptations strong assail thee,
Lift thy face to the light.
Closer cling when shadows fall,
God is with thee thro’ them all,
He will hear thy faintest call,
Lift thy face to the light. [Refrain]
3. Thro’ life’s sun and shadow singing,
Lift thy face to the light;
In thy heart God’s praises ringing,
Lift thy face to the light.
Other lives with grief bowed low,
From thine own may catch the glow,
Learn love’s fullest peace to know,
Lift thy face to the light. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Is thy heart oppressed with sorrow?]

In the Morning We Shall See

Jesus Satisfies
Jesus Took the Burden Off
Keep Telling It
Last Mile of the Way, The
Let Jesus Remove It Today
Lift Thy Face to the Light!

Tell It Wherever You Go
When We Use Our Talents
You Ought to Know Him
