Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings
Author: Cennick Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #958 (1873) 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. Topics: Heaven; Pressing Toward the Mark for the Prize

when lords and kings are known no more.

he bids the moon direct the night:
his mercies ever shall endure,
when suns and moons shall shine no more.
5 He sent his Son with power to save
from guilt, and darkness, and the grave:
wonders of grace to God belong,
repeat his mercies in your song.
6 Through this vain world he guides our feet,
and leads us to his heavenly seat:
his mercies ever shall endure,
when this vain world shall be no more.

God is a name my soul adores
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Common Praise #255 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:4-8 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores,
the almighty Three, the eternal One;
nature and grace with all their powers
confess the infinite unknown.
2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres,
bade the waves roar, the planets shine;
but nothing like thyself appears
through all these spacious works of thine.
3 Still restless nature dies and grows;
from change to change the creatures run:
thy being no succession knows,
and all thy vast designs are one.
4 A glance of thine runs through the globe.
rules the bright worlds and moves their frame;
of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe.
thy ministers are living flame.
5 How shall polluted mortals dare
to sing thy glory or thy grace?
Beneath thy feet we lie afar,
and see but shadows of thy face.
6 Who can behold the blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?
None but thy wisdom knows thy might,
none but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Creation Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU
