MHB 831 – GIVE me the wings of faith to rise

Methodist-Hymns-831

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 asked them whence their victory came
They, with united breath:
Ascribed 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.
