Christ My Song - 2251

Go up, go up, my heart - Sursum Corda
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Sursum Corda.

1. Go up, go up, my heart,
  dwell with thy God above;
for here thou canst not rest,
  nor here give out thy love. PDF - Midi

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!

Horatius Bonar, Hymns of Faith and Hope I, 1878, 126.
