630. Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings

SDA Hymnal

Verse 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.

Verse 1

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,

Longs to view His glorious face,

Forward tends to His abode

To rest in His embrace.

Verse 2

Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn;

Press onward to the prize;

Soon our Savior will return, t

Riumphant in the skies;

Yet a season, and you know

Happy entrance will be given,

All our sorrows left below,

And earth exchanged for heaven.
