Take the wings of the morning, speed quickly thy flight To Jesus, thy Saviour, thy hope, and thy light ! The fount of His mercy is open for thee, Go wash, and be cleansed in its waters so free !
Fly away, fly away on the wings of the morning ! Fly away, fly away, to thy Saviour and Friend !
2. Fly away to thy Saviour, He waits to forgive ; One look of His love, and thy spirit shall live : Thy faith will secure thee His blessing divine ; Go plead thou His merit, and peace will be thine !
3. On the wings of the morning fly home to His breast---- There only thy refuge, there only thy rest : The moments are precious, the noon-tide is near ; Fly home to thy Saviour ! oh, linger not here !
