Author: Edward Ashurst Welch, 1860-1932 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #780 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Worship Supplement Lyrics: 1 We lift our hearts, O Father,
To thee our voices raise,
For these thy suppliant servants
in mingled prayer and praise:
2 Praise for the joy of loving,
All other joys above,
Praise for the priceless blessing
Of love's response to love;
3 Prayer that the glad surrender
Of self may perfect be,
That each be one with other,
An both be one in thee;
4 Prayer that thou wilt accomplish
The promise of today
And crown the years with blessing
That shall not pass away;
5 Praise for the hope most glorious
That looks beyond the veil,
Where faith and hope shall vanish,
But love shall never fail. Topics: The Church Marriage Tune Title: WE LIFT OUR HEARTS
We Lift Our Hearts, O Father
