\nRise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, thy better portion trace;
\nRise from transitory things toward heaven, thy native place;
\nSun, and moon, and stars decay; time shall soon this earth remove;
\nRise, my soul, and haste away to seats prepared above.<\/p>\n
2
\nRivers to the ocean run, nor stay in all their course;
\nFire ascending seeks the sun; both speed them to their source;
\nSo a soul that’s born of God, longs to view His glorious face,
\nForward tends to His abode to rest in His embrace.<\/p>\n
3
\nCease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn; press onward to the prize;
\nSoon our Savior will return, triumphant in the skies;
\nYet a season, and you know happy entrance will be given,
\nAll our sorrows left below, and earth exhcanged for heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
