Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise!
'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord
Author: H. M. Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 71 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord,
and give to God our thanks with one accord;
it is our joy and duty, all our days
to lift our hearts in grateful thanks and praise.
2 Above the level of the former years,
the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears,
the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay —
O Lord of light, lift all our hearts today!
3 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame,
the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name,
the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole —
O Lord of truth, lift every Christian soul!
4 Above the storms that darken human life —
pride, jealousy and envy, rage and strife;
where cold mistrust holds friend and friend apart —
O Lord of love, lift every Christian heart!
5 Then, with the trumpet call as Christ appears,
'Lift up your hearts!' rings, pealing in our ears:
still shall our hearts respond with full accord —
'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!'

Luke 1: 46-55: Tell Out, My Soul
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 63 hymnals First Line: Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Savior shall my heart rejoice.
2 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!
Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name, the Lord, the Mighty One.
3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!
Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord
to children's children and forevermore!

Small Church Music
Editors: J. R. Peacey, 1896-1971 Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
