Give Me the Wings of Faith

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:9-17 First Line: Give me the wings of faith to rise 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 mourners 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 breast; 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.

Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:9 Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you. God, we bless you. God, we name you sovereign Lord. Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your church adored: all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne singing 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!' 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, join one growing song of praise, while your church on earth confesses one majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory, everlasting Son of God, humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod: by your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face, heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants for whose freedom you have paid: raise us up from dust to glory, guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we pray.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,289 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:17 First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God. He, whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong deliverer, strong deliverer, be thou still my strength and shield; be thou still my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside.
