Give me the wings of faith to rise

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 521 hymnals Topics: Heaven Friends in 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 cries 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.
