Representative Text

1 O soul of mine, mount high, mount high!
Cling not to things below,
Up yonder are the mountain tops,
Stretch forth thy wings and go.

Refrain:
Mount high, mount high, O soul of mine,
Rise up and soar away;
Up yonder, on the mountain tops,
Is everlasting day.

2 O soul of mine, mount high, mount high!
Soar up where thou canst see
The goodly land where thou shalt dwell
Thro’ all eternity. [Refrain]

3 O soul of mine, mount high, mount high!
There’s nothing here to stay,
In night the sun shall hide his face,
And all things pass away. [Refrain]

4 O soul of mine, mount high, mount high!
Stay not in all thy flight
Till thou shalt reach the mount of God
And river of delight. [Refrain]
