Lyrics
Rise, O soul, and break the bondage
Of the vanities of life!
Journey onward to the kingdom,
Leave the turmoil and the strife.
In this world and time we see
Naught but endless vanity.
Turn your heart to the fair city,
To the peaceful Zion there.
Let no worldly hope deceive you;
Hasten now its joys to share.
Let naught lead you e'er astray
As you walk the heav'nly way.
O, the lovely, glori'ous portal
That o'er Jesus' grave I see;
"Jesus lives!" O, words immortal,
Like a magnet drawing me!
"Jesus lives!" This, too, I see:
"Who believes shall live with Me!"
In my Saviour's resurrection
There is comfort; I am blest.
In His life my hopes renewing,
In His love my soul shall rest.
Ev'rything I have in Thee,
Life and hope and victory.
Of the vanities of life!
Journey onward to the kingdom,
Leave the turmoil and the strife.
In this world and time we see
Naught but endless vanity.
Turn your heart to the fair city,
To the peaceful Zion there.
Let no worldly hope deceive you;
Hasten now its joys to share.
Let naught lead you e'er astray
As you walk the heav'nly way.
O, the lovely, glori'ous portal
That o'er Jesus' grave I see;
"Jesus lives!" O, words immortal,
Like a magnet drawing me!
"Jesus lives!" This, too, I see:
"Who believes shall live with Me!"
In my Saviour's resurrection
There is comfort; I am blest.
In His life my hopes renewing,
In His love my soul shall rest.
Ev'rything I have in Thee,
Life and hope and victory.
