Give Me The Wings Of Faith To Rise
Within The Veil, And See
The Saints Above, How Great Their Joys,
How Bright Their Glories Be.
Many Are The Friends Who Are Waiting Today,
Happy On The Golden Strand;
Many Are The Voices Calling Us Away
To Join Their Glorious Band
Calling Us Away, Calling Us Away,
Calling To The Better Land;
Calling To The Better Land.
Once They Were Mourning Here Below,
And Wet Their Couch With Tears:
They Wrestled Hard, As We Do Now,
With Sins, And Doubts, And Fears.
Many Are The Friends Who Are Waiting Today,
Happy On The Golden Strand;
Many Are The Voices Calling Us Away
To Join Their Glorious Band
Calling Us Away, Calling Us Away,
Calling To The Better Land;
Calling To The Better Land.
I Ask Them Whence Their Victory Came:
They, With United Breath,
Ascribe Their Conquest To The Lamb,
Their Triumph To His Death.
Many Are The Friends Who Are Waiting Today,
Happy On The Golden Strand;
Many Are The Voices Calling Us Away
To Join Their Glorious Band
Calling Us Away, Calling Us Away,
Calling To The Better Land;
Calling To The Better Land.
They Marked The Footsteps That He Trod,
His Zeal Inspired Their Breast;
And Following Their Incarnate God,
Possess The Promised Rest.
Many Are The Friends Who Are Waiting Today,
Happy On The Golden Strand;
Many Are The Voices Calling Us Away
To Join Their Glorious Band
Calling Us Away, Calling Us Away,
Calling To The Better Land;
Calling To The Better Land.
Our Glorious Leader Claims Our Praise
For His Own Pattern Given;
While The Long Cloud Of Witnesses
Show The Same Path To Heaven.
Many Are The Friends Who Are Waiting Today,
Happy On The Golden Strand;
Many Are The Voices Calling Us Away
To Join Their Glorious Band
Calling Us Away, Calling Us Away,
Calling To The Better Land;
Calling To The Better Land.
