lift up your hearts! - norwich cathedral choir lyrics

Loading...

‘lift up your hearts!’ 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

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

above the swamps of subterfuge and shame
the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name
the halting tongue that darеs not tell the whole
o lord of truth, lift еvery christian soul

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

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!’
