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.
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!
Fly away, fly away
on the wings of the morning!
Fly away, fly away
to Thy Saviour and Friend.
On the wings of the morning
fly home to His breast—
There only thy refuge,
there only thy rest;
The moments are precious,
the noontide is near;
Fly home to thy Saviour!
Oh, linger not here!
Fly away, fly away
on the wings of the morning!
Fly away, fly away
to Thy Saviour and Friend.
