YouTube video: Reach and Soar, hymn

Text:
As a flower blooms in Spring, reaching for the light,
So a soul can bloom with joy when reaching for the right.
Cultivate us by Thy Word, sinful weeds to quell,
Planting faith within our hearts that Christ has conquered hell.

As the eagle soars aloft lost in joyful flight,
So the soul can soar with joy on learning truth and light.
With Thy Word to be our wing, lift us with Thy breath.
Never need we fear to fly, for Christ has conquered death.

Just as waters clean and pure flow from mountain springs,
Praises from Thy people flow as ev'ry heart now sings.
Jesus paid the price of sin, suffering the more
That His children now could live to reach and then to soar.
