Your bro­ther has a bur­den that is hard to bear;
He fell be­fore the tempt­er in a sin­ful snare,
And he looks to you to help him;
He has drained the bit­ter cup:
In the name of Christ your Sav­ior,
Lift him up, lift him up.

Refrain

Lift him up, lift up your bro­ther;
Lift him up, lift him up;
In the name of Christ your Sav­ior,
Lift him up, lift him up.

In God’s own im­age, with a pre­cious soul to save,
His strength turned in­to weak­ness,
Who was once so brave;
He is strug­gling for a foot­hold,
And would fain re­nounce the cup:
In the name of Christ your Sav­ior,
Lift him up, lift him up.

Refrain

If you will give him cour­age and his soul is won,
Your heart will leap with glad­ness
When the work is done;
One more star to shine in Hea­ven,
O what joy will fill your cup!
In the name of Christ your Sav­ior,
Lift him up, lift him up.

Refrain
