Give Me the Wings of Faith

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals 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.

Faith grasps the blessing she desires, Hope points the upward gaze; And Love, celestial Love, inspires The eloquence of praise. 2.

Thee we adore, Eternal Name

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 371 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name, And humbly own to Thee, How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! 2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As days and months increase; And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave: Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're travelling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road; And if our souls are hurried hence May they be found with God.
