Go Up, Go Up, My Heart

Go up

go up

my heart

Dwell with thy God ab­ove;

For here thou canst not rest

Nor here give out thy love.

Go up

go up

my heart!

Be not a trif­ler here;

Ascend above these clouds

Dwell in a high­er sphere.

Let not thy love flow out

To things so soiled and dim;

Go up to Heav’n and God;

Take up thy love to Him.

Waste not thy pre­cious stores

On plea­sure here be­low:

To God that wealth be­longs;

On Him that wealth be­stow.

Go up

reluc­tant heart!

Take up thy rest above;

Arise

earth-cling­ing thoughts;

Ascend

my lin­ger­ing love!
