About this Hymn
The Anglican Communion service begins with the "Sursum Corda," Latin for "Lift up your hearts." It is also known as the "Eucharistic Prayer." This fresh setting is beautifully written, artfully matching the words and music to the theme and helping us prepare with joy and confidence for the feast of communion. It is also a stunning call to worship, a song of thanksgiving, and a response to sadness.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Lift your hearts, We lift them to the Lord; lift your hearts, we lift them to the Lord; this is our joyful duty, to worship and adore. Lift your hearts, We lift them to the Lord.
Chorus
Now let our grateful voices rise, come join the chorus of the skies, from earth below to heaven's heights. We lift our hearts, we lift our hearts to the Lord.
Verse 2
Oh, give thanks, Give thanks unto the Lord; oh, give thanks, give thanks unto the Lord; for grace already given, and blessings still in store. Oh, give thanks, Give thanks unto the Lord.
Verse 3
Praise, all praise, Unto the Lamb who died. Praise, all praise, unto the Lord of life. Ascended now in glory, forever magnified. Praise, all praise, unto the name of Christ.
Lift your hearts, We lift them to the Lord; lift your hearts, we lift them to the Lord; this is our joyful duty, to worship and adore. Lift your hearts, We lift them to the Lord.
Chorus
