Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings

Author: Robert Seagrave Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 807 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:31 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Toward 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 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So my soul, derived from God, Longs to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, then, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon the Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and we know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven. Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Hope; Perseverance; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

My days of praise shall ne'er be past while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures. 2 How happy they whose hopes rely on Israel's God, who made the sky and earth and seas with all their train; whose truth forever stands secure, who saves the oppressed and feeds the poor, and none shall find God's promise vain. 3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind; the Lord supports the fainting mind and sends the laboring conscience peace. God helps the stranger in distress, the widowed and the parentless, and grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures.
