We lift them, Lord, to thee; Here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' E'en 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 to-day! 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 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. 5 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!'

Christians awake! salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom, 1691-1763 Hymnal: NEH1985 #24 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Person Name: John Byrom, 1691-1763 Lyrics: 1 Christians awake! salute the happy morn Whereon the Saviour of the world was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God Incarnate and the Virgin’s Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angelic herald’s voice, 'Behold, I bring you tidings of a Saviour’s birth To you and all the nations on the earth: This day hath God fulfilled His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.' 3 He spake; and straightaway that celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heaven’s whole orb with alleluyas rang: God’s highest glory was their anthem still, Peace on the earth, and unto men goodwill. 4 *To Bethl'em straight the enlightened shepherds ran To see the wonder God had wrought for man, And found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid, Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid: Joyful, the wondrous story they proclaim-- The first apostles of his infant fame. 5 *Like Mary let us ponder in our mind God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind; Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, From his poor manger to his bitter cross; Then may we hope, angelic thrones among, To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song.
