'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 Scripture: James 1:17 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: Samuel Trevor Francis, 1834-1925 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 63 hymnals Scripture: James 1:17 Lyrics: 1 O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free! Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me! Underneath me, all around me, is the current of thy love– leading onward, leading homeward, to thy glorious rest above! 2 O the deep, deep love of Jesus– spread his praise from shore to shore! How he loves us, ever loves us, changes never, nevermore! How he watches o'er his loved ones, died to call them all his own; how for them he's interceding, watching o'er them from the throne! 3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best! 'Tis an ocean vast of blessing, 'tis a haven sweet of rest! O the deep, deep love of Jesus– 'tis a heaven of heavens to me; and it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to thee!
