Like the eagle, upward, onward
Horatius Bonar • English
Primary Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:10
Verse 1
Like the eagle, upward, onward, Let my soul in faith be borne: calmly gazing skyward, sunward, Let my eye unshrinking turn.
Verse 2
When the Truth, God's love revealing, Sets the fettered spirit free, Where it sheds its wondrous healing, There, my Soul, thy rest shall be.
Verse 3
O may I no longer, dreaming, Idly waste my golden day, But each precious hour redeeming, Upward, upward, press my way.
