So great a cloud of witnesses.
Heb. 12:1.

Give me the wings of faith, to rise

Within the vail, and see

The saints above, how great their joys

How bright their glories be.

2 Once they were mourning here below,

And bathed their couch with tears;

They wrestled hard, as we do now,

With sins, and doubts, and fears.
