Give me the wings of faith to rise

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 524 hymnals Topics: Vision 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. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21 Used With Tune: SAN ROCCO

Creating God, We Give You Thanks

Author: William deWitt Hyde Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 Creating God, we give you thanks that this your world is incomplete; that battle calls our marshalled ranks, that work awaits our hands and feet. 2 You hast not finished woman, man, for we are in the making still, as friends who share the Maker’s plan as those who know your loving will. 3 Beyond the present sin and shame, wrong’s bitter, cruel, scorching blight, we see the beckoning vision flame, the blessèd kingdom of the right. 4 What though the kingdom long delay, and still with haughty foes must cope? It gives us that for which to pray, a field for toil and faith and hope. 5 Since what we choose is what we are, and what we love we yet shall be, the goal may ever shine afar, the will to win it makes us free.
