LyicsRISE, O my soul! pursue the path
By ancient heroes trod;
Ambitious view those holy men
Who liv'd and walk'd with God.
Though dead, they speak in reason's ear;
And in example live;
Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds,
Still fresh instruction give.
'Twas thro' the Lamb's most precious blood,
They conquer'd ev'ry foe;
And to his power and matchless grace
Their crowns and honor owe.
Lord, may we ever keep in view
The patterns thou hast giv'n,
And ne'er forsake the blessed road
Which led them safe to heav'n.
