Page 459 - RISE, my soul, and stretch thy wings Thy better portion trace ; Rise from transitory things, Towards 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. 2 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, Pants to view his glorious face, Upward tends to his abode, To rest in his embrace.
