Lift up your hearts to things above

Verse 1
Lift up your hearts to things above (Col. 3:1)
Ye Partners in distress,
Allur’d, and brought by Jesus Love
Into the Wilderness. (Hosea 2:14)
With us expect again to hear
His comfortable Voice, (Hosea 2:14)
And feel his great salvation near (Rom. 13:11)
And evermore rejoice. (Phil. 4:4)

Verse 2
From hence He shall our comforts raise,
From hence our vineyards give, (Hosea 2:15)
And by his all-restoring grace
Our drooping souls revive. (Ps. 23:3)
He from the depth of misery
Shall lift his mourners up, (Ps. 30:11, Isa. 61:2-3)
And lo, he gives us now to see
An open door of hope. (Hosea 2:15, Rev. 3:8)

Verse 3
Ev’n now we sweetly call to mind
The former gospel-days, (Heb. 10:32)
The Joy of our First Love we find, (Rev. 2:4-5)
The extacy of grace,
We sing the glories of the Lamb (Rev. 5:12)
And feel his blood applied, (Ex. 12:7, Ex. 12:13, Ex. 12:22-23)
As when we out of Egypt came (Hosea 2:15, Ex. 14:30)
But newly justified.
