Lift Up Your Hearts to Things Above

Lift up your hearts to things ab­ove

Ye fol­low­ers of the Lamb

And join with us to praise His love

And glo­ri­fy His name.

To Je­sus’ name give thanks and sing

Whose mer­cies nev­er end:

Rejoice! re­joice! the Lord is king;

The King is now our friend!

We

for His sake

count all things loss;

On earth­ly good look down;

And joy­ful­ly sus­tain the cross

Till we re­ceive the crown.

O let us stir each oth­er up

Our faith by works to ap­prove

By holy

pu­ri­fy­ing hope

And the sweet task of love!

Love us

though far in flesh dis­joined

Ye lov­ers of the Lamb;

And ev­er bear us on your mind

Who think and speak the same:

You on our minds we ev­er bear

Whoe’er to Je­sus bow;

Stretch out the arms of faith and pray­er

And lo! we reach you now.

Surely we now your souls em­brace

With you we now ap­pear

Present be­fore the throne of grace

And you

and Christ

are here.

The bless­ings all on you be shed

Which God in Christ im­parts;

We pray the Spir­it of our Head

Into your faith­ful hearts.

Mercy and peace your por­tion be

To car­nal minds un­known

The hid­den man­na

and the tree

Of life

and the white stone.

Live till the Lord in glo­ry come

And wait His Heav­en to share:

Our Sav­ior now pre­pares our home:

Go on—we’ll meet you there.
