Rise, O my soul, to high­er joys awak­ing,
Rise and ob­ey thy bless­èd Mas­ter’s will;
Now from the world and all its plea­sures break­ing,
Live un­to Him, and be thou faith­ful still.

Refrain

Live un­to Him whose gen­tle hand will guide thee
Safe thro’ the ills that mark this fleet­ing shore;
Live unto Him who walk­eth still be­side thee,
Live un­to Him who liv­eth ev­er­more.

Rise, O my soul, and ov­er­come temp­ta­tion,
Stand like the brave amid the bat­tle strife;
Strong in the might and strength of thy sal­va­tion,
Hold fast the hope of ev­er­last­ing life.

Refrain

Rise, O my soul, above thy care and sad­ness,
Rise and re­joice, thy song of rap­ture swell;
Praise Him who turns thy sor­row in­to glad­ness,
Trust in the Lord, who do­eth all tings well.

Refrain

Rise, O my soul, the way grows bright be­fore thee,
Soon wilt thou reach the sun­ny heights above;
Haste, haste thee on to glo­ry, un­to glo­ry,
Till thou art lost in thy Re­deem­er’s praise.

Refrain
