PRAYER AND ASPIRATION
492
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,
Pants to view His glorious face, I Upward tends to His abode,
To rest in His embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize; Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven.
Rev. Robert Sbagravk, 1742
