Take Wings To Thy Soul

by Eliza E. Hewitt

Take wings to thy soul; take the pinions of prayer
To rise above trials, temptations and care;
New measures of blessing so trustfully bring,
And hold sweet communion with Jesus thy King.

Take wings to thy soul; take the pinions of praise;
Arise like the lark, in the pure morning rays;
With carols of gladness as fresh as the dew,
Give thanks for His mercies, abundant and true.

Take wings to thy soul; take the pinions of love,
All faithfully serving the Master above;
O, haste to the needy with tidings of cheer;
Spread heavenly sunshine where pathways are drear.

Chorus

Take wings, bright wings,
Take wings to thy soul, O believer, today!
Take wings, bright wings;
Mount up as the eagle, rejoice in thy way.
