Lyrics
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
To seats prepared above
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
Forwards tends to His abode
To rest in His embrace
Cease my soul, cease to mourn
Press onward to the prize
Soon the Savior 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
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
To seats prepared above
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
Forwards tends to His abode
To rest in His embrace
Cease my soul, cease to mourn
Press onward to the prize
Soon the Savior 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
