Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 525 hymnals Topics: Confidence in God 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 bathed their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears. 3 I ask them whence their vict'ry came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to His death. 4 They mark'd 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 Shows the same path to heaven.
