Methodist-Hymns-722
1: LIFT up your hearts to things above,
Ye followers of the Lamb,
And join with us to praise His love,
And glorify His name.
2: To Jesu’s name give thanks and sing,
Whose mercies never end:
Rejoice! rejoice! The Lord is king;
The King is now our friend!
3: We, for His sake, count all things loss;
On earthly good look down;
And joyfully sustain the cross,
Till we receive the crown.
4: O let us stir each other up,
Our faith by works to approve,
By holy, purifying hope,
And the sweet task of love.
5: 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.
6: Mercy and peace your portion be,
To carnal minds unknown,
The hidden manna, and the tree
Of life, and the white stone.
7: The blessings all on you be shed,
Which God in Christ imparts;
We pray the Spirit of our Head
Into your faithful hearts.
8: Live till the Lord in glory come,
And wait His heaven to share:
Our Saviour now prepares our home:
Go on; we’ll meet you there.
