Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: R. Seagrave Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 807 hymnals Matching Instances: 756 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, my soul, O cease to mourn! Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Savior will return, To take thee to the skies; There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest in heaven, There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.

Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes! See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn: See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend: See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyous tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed His word, His saving power remains; Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns. Amen. Used With Tune: [Rise, crowned with light]

Enter, incarnate God! No feet but Thine have trod The serpent down: Blow the full trumpets blow! Wider your portals throw! Savior triumphant, go And take Thy crown! 4. Lion of Judah! Hail! And let Thy name prevail From age to age; Lord of the rolling years, Claim for Thine own the spheres, For Thou hast bought with tears Thy heritage! 5. And then was heard afar Star answering to star— Lo! these have come Followers of Him who gave His life their lives to save; And now their palms they wave, Brought safely home.
