Lift thy heart

F. Allitsen

Lift thy heart

For the glad world's sake!

Live thy life

For the good of all:

There's a road

For each soul to take,

There's a comrade

To heed thy call.

Sleep will come

But the soul shall wake--

Lift thy heart

For the glad world's sake!

Love the best,

For the best shall live;

Pray for all,

There is need for prayer

Gifts thou hast--

Be thou rich and give!

Life is fleeting,

But Heavn' is fair.

Sleep will come

But the soul shall wake--

Lift thy heart

For the glad world's sake!
