Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings
Author: Robert Seagrave Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 806 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 3:1 Lyrics: 1 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;
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, derived from God,
Longs to view His glorious face,
Forward tends to His abode,
To rest in His embrace.
3 Cease, my soul, then, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon the Saviour 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.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Hope; Perseverance; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Nearer home, nearer home
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 630 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 3:4 First Line: "Forever with the Lord!" Lyrics: 1 "Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be;
Life for the dead is in that word:
'Tis immortality.
Here in this body pent,
Absent from him I roam;
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
Chorus:
Nearer home, nearer home,
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith's aspiring eye,
Thy gold gates appear!
Ah, then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love;
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above. [Chorus]
3 And when the morn shall come
That ends earth's night of pain,
Thro' grace I shall escape the tomb,
And life eternal gain;
Then knowing "as I'm known,"
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!" [Chorus]
4 "Forever with the Lord!"
Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E'en now to me fulfill.
Be thou at my right hand,
Then I can never fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
And in thy strength prevail. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Used With Tune: FOREVER WITH THE LORD
