Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

We lift our hearts, O Father 
We lift our hearts, O Father, to thee, our voices raise, for these thy suppliant servants, in mingled prayer and praise: 
Praise for the joy of loving, all other joys above, praise for the priceless blessing of love's response to love; 
Prayer that the sweet surrender of self may perfect be, that each be one with other, and both be one in thee; 
Prayer that the bond between them may be as closely tied as is the bond that bindeth Christ and his holy Bride; 
Prayer that thou wilt accomplish the promise of today, and crown the years with blessing that shall pass away; 
Praise for the hope most glorious that looks beyond the veil, where faith and hope shall vanish, but love shall never fail.
