Text: | Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings |
Author: | Rev. R. Seagrave |
Tune: | [Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings] |
Composer: | Dr. Nares |
1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things,
Towards heaven, thy destined place.
Sun and moon and stars decay,
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Cease, my soul, oh, cease to mourn!
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Saviour will return,
Triumphant in the skies:
Thine is everlasting peace,
Rest, enduring rest in heaven;
There will sorrow ever cease,
And crowns of joy be given.
Amen.
