Take Wings to Thy Soul

lyricist: Eliza Hewitt, 1914
Composer: Charles Gabriel

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

bright wings;

Take wings to the soul

O

be­liev­er

to­day!

Take wings

bright wings;

Mount up as the ea­gle

re­joice in thy way.

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.
