Give me the wings of faith to rise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Once they were mourning here below,
and poured out sighs and tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came;
they, with united breath,
ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their quest,
and, following their incarnate God,
possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious leader claims our praise
for his own pattern given;
while the long cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heaven.
