Up and Away

Up

and away

while the blush of the morn­ing

Tips ev­ery leaf with its pure

bright ray;

Up

while the spring­time the earth is ad­orn­ing

Come

while the Sav­ior is call­ing to­day.

Give to the Sav­ior each grate­ful emo­tion;

Give Him

with glad­ness

our ear­nest de­vo­tion;

Then will His love

roll­ing on like the ocean

Fill ev­ery heart with its full­ness to­day.

Up

and away

on the jour­ney be­fore us;

Follow the Sav­ior in youth’s bright spring;

Now while the cloud of His mer­cy is o’er us

Haste

let us go

and re­joice while we sing.

Up

and away

for the mo­ments are fleet­ing;

Up

and away

like the tried and true;

Up

and away

to each oth­er re­peat­ing

God has a work for the child­ren to do.

Up

and away

to the fair land of glo­ry;

There may we rest

when our jour­ney’s past;

Rest with the faith­ful

pr­oclaim­ing the sto­ry

Through our Re­deem­er we’re safe

safe at last.
