On Eagle’s Wings Lyrics by Michael Joncas

On Eagle’s Wings

1979

[Verse 1]
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge
My rock, in whom I trust!"
[Chorus]
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
[Verse 2]
The snare of the fowler will never capture you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings, your refuge
His faithfulness, your shield
[Chorus]
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the brеath of dawn
Make you to shine like thе sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
[Verse 3]
You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you
Near you it shall not come
[Chorus]
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
[Verse 4]
For to His angels He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways
Upon their hands they will bear you up
Lest you dash your foot against a stone
[Chorus]
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
[Coda]
And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand
