Letra Above the trembling elements Christian Prayer

Above the trembling elements

Above the trembling elements,
Above lifes restless sea,
Dear Savior, lift my spirit up,
O lift me up to Thee!
Great calmness there, sweet patience, too,
Upon Thy face I see;
I would be calm and patient, Lord,
O lift me up to Thee!
I am not weary of Thy work,
From earth I would not flee;
But while I walk and while I serve,
O lift me up to Thee!
That I may bless my tender friends,
And those who love not me;
But while I walk and while I serve,
O lift me up to Thee!
Whatever falls of good or ill,
Thy hand, Thy care I see,
And while these varied dealings pass,
O lift me up to Thee!
And when my eyes close for the last,
Still this my prayer shall be:
Dear Savior, lift my spirit up,
And lift me up to Thee!
