Mount Up on Eagle's Wings

 

Get ready and be forewarned

Satan will come after you, too

Like a giant swell that's formed

To knock your feet off what's beneath you

Though Christ be your foundation

He will unleash every evil scheme

He's been at it for generations

With the vilest perversions ever seen

The bringing in of this dispensation

Of the fullness of the gospel

Came, along with the restoration

Satan full wrath upon God's people

For as much as light gathers

Darkness gathers also

Bring the sheeves to the garners

That safety they might know

Let them drink from cooling fountains

And feel the spirit's reach

Let us too go up Zion's mountains

And let the light there teach

The holy temple's our refuge

Yes a sacred safe haven

From the gathering storm

In a world that darkens

Mount on eagle's wings and hearken!

from chapter one Holiness to the Lord

The Incomparable Christ by Vaughn J. Featherstone

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
