The Uplift

By Llewellyn A. Morrison

By Llewellyn A. Morrison
A hymn suggested by a sentence in one of Gypsy Smith's sermons. Music, "Onward, Christian Soldiers."
Came disciples straightway, At the hour of prayer, To the temple gateway; Cried a cripple there, All his weakness pleading, "Alms!" With face aflame, God's true servants, heeding, "Walk, in Jesus' name!"

Chorus

Then with hand down-reaching From a heart above, To the one beseeching, Came a lift of love.
When by sin sore smitten, Man, far out and lost, Then the Word was written, "To the uttermost I will seek and save him For My very own, By the Word I gave him To be Mine alone."

Chorus

Then for sin's dark burden Our Redeemer died; For our peace and pardon He was crucified; For our strength and healing In the earthly ways, Lo! He came, revealing Everlasting praise.

Chorus

There was none besides Him Who could pay the price. Nothing was denied Him, For the sacrifice. Thorn-marred brow hath shown Him In the heavens above, Where the saints enthrone Him As the King of Love.

Chorus for the last stanza

Nail-pierced hand, down-reaching, Lifteth from the strife! Every one beseeching, Finds eternal life.
