Prayer gives one lift (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paternoster

This clue is a double definition.

'prayer' is the first definition.
(Paternoster is an example)

'one lift' is the second definition.
(historic type of lift)

'gives' is the link.

(Other definitions for paternoster that I've seen before include "supplication" , "One can get uplifted by this" , "that could take people to a different level" , "a continuous lift" , "The Lord''s Prayer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
