To Fly on Eagles Wings

To Fly on Eagles Wings

Accusation

Before this cause did once besought my youth
Undoubted measure in measure full conceived
Betided truth of nothing left for gain or hope
Complete the fall which fall did make to press

Refrain

Rise up my chosen child of hope rise up
Rise up and in thy supplication flee to Christ
If now to cry and rise on wings of faith in Him
To hope once more to fly on eagleÂ’s wings

Lament

Hail grief bespoken pressed and sorrow known
In fixtures made of certain hope and purpose
In shadows long and darkness passed away
The mountains of thy hidden cart and all thy bed
Thy valleys form thy seams thy sockets made
Thy gaze that once did worship cause to fall
In all thy labours drew and tore His service due
Hail Christ and all His works has crushed thy head

Retort

Laid bear now you dread fame lay bear your fables
Cast down capricious nave your crown of shame
Your kingdom set by fire within consumed and lost
This gain in Christ tis full and all complete in Him

Victory

Thy loss is gain beneath His feet and gain for all
Thy works are in His light made light of life
His light shines on and Truth is ample made
The fruit of faith, eternal hope and hopes new song

Jubilation

Rise up my chosen child of hope rise up
Rise up and in thy supplication flee to Christ
At last to die and rise on wings of faith in Him
In hope once more to fly on eagleÂ’s wings
