Live Unto Him

1 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.

2 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]

3 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 things well. [Refrain]

4 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]
