121. Lift Up the Fallen

1 We are pledg’d to active service,
Not to live in selfish ease;
Lifting burdens we remember,
Not Himself, did Jesus please.

Refrain:
Lift up the fallen, lift up the fallen,
Lift up the heart bow’d down with care,
Lift up the fallen, bring them to Jesus,
Look up and lift up wherever you are.

2 Lonely stricken hearts we comfort,
And with help the needy bless;
For by deeds and not enjoyments
God doth measure our success. [Refrain]

3 Looking up to heav’n for guidance,
We look round for souls to win;
Lift them up and show them Jesus,
Who alone can save from sin. [Refrain]

4 Jesus gave to us our mission,
And He gently leads our feet;
Where the path of self-denial,
And the path of blessings meet. [Refrain]
