'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord

Author: H. M. Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord, and give to God our thanks with one accord; it is our joy and duty, all our days to lift our hearts in grateful thanks and praise. 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 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 Above the storms that darken human life — pride, jealousy and envy, rage and strife; where cold mistrust holds friend and friend apart — O Lord of love, lift every Christian heart! 5 Then, with the trumpet call as Christ appears, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings, pealing in our ears: still shall our hearts respond with full accord — 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!'

Editors: J. R. Peacey, 1896-1971 Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
