“BE LIFTED UP,”

Be lifted up! O sad and weary heart, Though faint and very near to death thou art, Arise! Lest hope’s last lingering ray depart! Be lifted up!
Recall thy trust! Remember who has said, “A crown of thorns they placed upon my head.” His bleeding feet up Calvary’s steeps were led— Be lifted up!
Recall thy faith! Believe and doubt thou not; His promise cannot fail nor be forgot; His blessing consecrates the sufferer’s lot! Be lifted up!
Recall thy hopes! The future is not dead, Though midnight darkness gather overhead, On every side though rankling thorns be spread, Be lifted up!
Recall thy love! O grief-worn heart, and tried, That holy covert seek—His wounded side; Resign thyself to him—the Crucified; Be lifted up!
Thus shalt thou find repose and perfect rest, When thou canst know thyself most truly blest, In full submission to God’s wise behest; Be lifted up! —Sel.
