Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings

Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: HOoS1926 #514 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Tune Title: AMSTERDAM Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Tow'rds heav'n, 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 my soul that came from God Longs to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon our Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven! Amen. Topics: Hope and Aspiration; Trinity, Twenty-third Sunday; Trinity, Twenty-fourth Sunday Languages: English

Can we know that Thou art near us, And wilt hear us? Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know Thy love rejoicest O'er each work of Thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For Thy praise combine; Craftsman's art and music's measure For Thy pleasure Didst design. 4 Here, great God, to-day we offer Of Thine own to Thee, And for Thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds and hands and voices In our choicest Melody. 5 Honor, glory, might, and merit, Thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessèd Trinity: Of the best that Thou hast given Earth and heaven Render Thee.
