<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, thy better portion trace;<br>
|
|
Rise from transitory things, towards heaven, thy destined place:<br>
|
|
Sun and moon and stars decay, time shall soon this earth remove;<br>
|
|
Rise, my soul, and haste away to seats prepared above.</p>
|
|
<p>Rivers to the ocean run, nor stay in all their course;<br>
|
|
Fire ascending seeks the sun; both speed them to their source:<br>
|
|
So my soul, derived from God, longs to view His glorious face,<br>
|
|
Forward tends to His abode, to rest in His embrace.</p>
|
|
<p>Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, press onward to the prize;<br>
|
|
Soon thy Savior will return, to take thee to the skies:<br>
|
|
There is everlasting peace, rest, enduring rest, in heaven;<br>
|
|
There will sorrow ever cease, and crowns of joy be given.</p>
