1 Lifted into the sunshine, ring it out with a song;
Glory be to our Savior, praise him all day long;
Lifted up from the darkness, lifted out of the night,
Into radiant morning, love’s own beautiful light.

Chorus:
Lifted, lifted, Jesus has lifted me,
Lifted, lifted, into a life so free;
Lifted out of the darkness into morning all bright;
Beautiful day, eternal day, in Jesus’ light.

2 Lifted into the sunshine, rescued by arms Divine;
What a mighty salvation, great his mercies to shine;
To a life full of service glowing with faith and love,
Giving to those about us gleams from heaven above. [Chorus]

3 Lifted into the sunshine, gladly doing his will;
Sadly others are groping, down in black darkness still;
Lift them up to the Savior, tell of his boundless grace,
Till in that fadeless morning we behold his blest face. [Chorus]
