Rise, O My Soul, Pursue The Path
By Ancient Worthies Trod;
Aspiring, View Those Holy Men
Who Lived And Walked 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 Through The Lamb’s Most Precious Blood
They Conquered Every Foe;
And To His Power And Matchless Grace
Their Crowns Of Life They Owe.

Lord, May I Ever Keep In View
The Patterns Thou Hast Given
And Ne’er Forsake The Blessed Road
That Led Them Safe To Heaven.
