is an English hymn written in 1881 by the Anglican academic and clergyman H. Montagu Butler.

The words echo the English translation of the Sursum corda, a part of the communion liturgy in Christian churches.

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 to-day!

Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame, The deeds, the thoughts, that honor may not name, The halting tongue that dares not tell the whole, O Lord of Truth, lift every Christian soul!

Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given; Low lies the best till lifted up to heaven: Low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, Till, sent from God, they mount to God again.
