Arise and depart, for this is not your rest.
Mich. 2:10.
Go up, go up, my heart,
Dwell with thy God above;
For here thou canst not rest,
Nor here give out thy love.
2 Go up, go up, my heart,
Be not a trifler here;
Ascend above these clouds,
Dwell in a higher sphere.
3 Let not thy love flow out
To things so soiled and dim;
Go up to heaven and God,
Take up thy love to him.
4 Waste not thy precious stores
On creature-love below;
To God that wealth belongs,
On him that wealth bestow.
5 Go up, reluctant heart,
Take up thy rest above;
Arise, earth-clinging thoughts;
Ascend, my lingering love!
Bonar.
