Give us the wings of faith to rise
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #299b (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Give us 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,
their couch was wet with tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 We 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. Topics: Communion of Saints; Discipleship; Heaven; Jesus Names and images for; Other Saints and Festivals Thomas the Apostle; Other Saints and Festivals James the Apostle; Victory Scripture: Hebrews 11:32-40 Languages: English Tune Title: SAN ROCCO

within the veil, and see

they, with united breath,
ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.

When Christ was lifted from the earth
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #604 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ was lifted from the earth,
his arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west his love extends
and always, near or far,
he calls and claims us as his friends
and loves us as we are.
3 Where generation, class, or race
divide us to our shame,
he sees not labels but a face,
a person, and a name.
4 Thus freely loved, though fully known,
may I in Christ be free
to welcome and accept his own
as Christ accepted me. Topics: Christian Responsibility Languages: English Tune Title: SAN ROCCO

Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #620a (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west your love extends
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
3 Where age and gender, class and race,
divides us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
4 May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far,
your healing love to show.
