Thy bet-ter por-tion trace;

Rise from tran-si-to-ry things

Toward heaven, thy na-tive place;

Time shall soon this earth remove;

Rise, my soul, and haste a-way

[[Full Lyrics]] [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 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, Longs to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode To rest in His embrace. [Verse 3] Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn; Press onward to the prize; Soon our Savior will return, Triumphant in the skies; Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exhcanged for heaven.
