ON EAGLES WINGS
By
Michael Joncas
You who dwell...(On
eagles wings)
who abide in His shadow for life
say to the Lord: 'My refuge,
my God in whom I trust!'
And He will raise you
up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.
The snare of the
fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
And He will raise you
up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.
For to His angels
He's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways'
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
And He will raise you
up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand
BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
Words by Julia W. Howe;
Music attributed to John William Steffe
Mine eyes
have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory Glory Hallelujah Glory Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah His truth is marching on.
I have seen
Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His truth is marching on.
Glory Glory Hallelujah Glor! Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah His truth is marching on
I have read a
fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
His truth is marching on.
Glory Glory Hallelujah Glory Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah His truth is marching on.
He has
sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
His truth is marching on.
Glory Glory Hallelujah Glor! Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah His truth is marching on.
In the beauty
of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally …let us die to make men free]
His truth is marching on.
Glory Glory Hallelujah Glor! Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah His truth is marching on.
He is coming
like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
His truth is marching on.
Glory Glory Hallelujah Glor! Glory Hallelujah
Glory Glory Hallelujah His truth is marching on.
