Give Me The Wings Of Faith, To Rise
Within The Vail, And See
The Saints Above, How Great Their Joys
How Bright Their Glories Be.
Once They Were Mourning Here Below,
And Bathed Their Couch With Tears;
They Wrestled Hard, As We Do Now,
With Sins, And Doubts, And Fears.
I Ask Them Whence Their Victory Came;
They, With United Breath,
Ascribe Their Conquest To The Lamb,
Their Triumph To His Death.
They Marked The Footsteps That He Trod;
His Zeal Inspired Their Breast;
And, Following Their Incarnate God,
Possessed The Promised Rest.
Our Glorious Leader Claims Our Praise,
For His Own Pattern Given;
While The Long Cloud Of Witnesses
Shows The Same Path To Heaven.
