[As an eagle cleaves the air]

I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you, &c. —xix. 4.

As an eagle cleaves the air,
Whose wings support her young,
Jesus doth His people bear,
As swift, as smooth, as strong!
Saviour, urge Thy rapid flight,
Soar to that sublime abode,
Bear us far above all height,
And bring us home to God.
