I look to Thee to lift me up
When into the depths of sorrow
I sink and comfort cannot find;
I look to Thee to lift me up
When nothing makes sense
In my troubled finite mind.
I look to Thee to lift me up
When forsaken I happen to be;
I look to Thee to lift me up
When trials seek to swallow me.
I will look to Thee to lift me up
When farewell I have to say,
Lift me up with tender mercies
Thou art the light, the truth and the way.

Each day I lift more and more,
On wings of faith
I fly to God I know.
In realms of splendour
I will find my home of old
And return to Him
Who has missed me so.

Did Your angels miss You
When You left Your glorious throne?
Did their voices echo in a lowly stable
When you were so humbly born?
And did they weep for you
When you had to suffer alone?
Did they rejoice at your return,
Did they sound their trumps
To herald their joy?
And did they praise You forever more
As you reclaimed Your exalted throne?

To heaven’s gate you came so willing
To claim God’s Son as your own;
The seeds of love you offered there
In noble soil forever sown.

(Art: On To Egypt by Rose Datoc Dall)
I wandered and I strayed in unknown paths,
Far from my eternal home;
I knew not where to find You
And how to become Your own.
Then You came when I was trapped
In brier, bleeding, helpless and all alone.
You worked so gently while Your hands were
Bleeding much more than my own.
I now take the roads I know
And avoid the paths unknown;
I remember Your arms that held me
And how they felt like home.
