Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings

Author: Cennick Appears in 807 hymnals Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:5-7 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise, from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place: Sun and moon and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above! 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending, seeks the sun,-- Both speed them to their source; So a soul that's born of God, Pants to view his glorious face, Upward tends to his abode, To rest in his embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims! cease to mourn,-- Press onward to the prize; Soon your Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All your sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven.
