Lyrics:

Give us the wings of faith to rise 
Within the veil, and see 
The Saints above, how great their joys, 
How bright their glories be.
 
We ask them whence their victory came; 
They, with one united breath, 
Ascribe the conquest to the Lamb, 
Their triumph to his death. 

They marked the footsteps that he trod, 
His zeal inspired their breast; 
And, following their incarnate God, 
They reached the promised rest.
