We Lift Our Hearts to Thee
Many of us are celebrating the Lord’s Table today in our churches. I recently came across the words to a wonderful hymn written by John Wesley. Think about these words today as you prepare your heart to celebrate the Lord’s Table:
We lift our hearts to Thee,
O Day Star from on high!
The sun itself is but Thy shade,
Yet cheers both earth and sky.
O Day Star from on high!
The sun itself is but Thy shade,
Yet cheers both earth and sky.
O let Thine orient beams
The night of sin disperse
The mists of error and of vice
Which shade the universe.
The night of sin disperse
The mists of error and of vice
Which shade the universe.
How beauteous nature now:
How dark and sad before!
With joy we view the pleasing change
And nature’s God adore.
How dark and sad before!
With joy we view the pleasing change
And nature’s God adore.
O may no gloomy crime
Pollute the rising day;
Or Jesus’ blood, like evening dew,
Wash all the stains away.
Pollute the rising day;
Or Jesus’ blood, like evening dew,
Wash all the stains away.
May we this life improve,
To mourn for error’s past;
And live this short, revolving day
As if it were our last.
To mourn for error’s past;
And live this short, revolving day
As if it were our last.
To God – the Father, Son
And Spirit – One in Three,
Be glory; as it was, is now,
And shall forever be.
And Spirit – One in Three,
Be glory; as it was, is now,
And shall forever be.

Compass Pointers: Look for yourself and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in. C. S. Lewis
