As eagles rise on mighty wing,
Enraptured by the sun's bright fire,
So to His very throne I seek—
God is the sun of my desire.
I mount on wings of joy to reach
His habitation, lifted high.
Exalting Him, adoring Him,
At one with what I glorify.
From the November 1934 issue of The Christian Science Journal
As eagles rise on mighty wing,
Enraptured by the sun's bright fire,
So to His very throne I seek—
God is the sun of my desire.
I mount on wings of joy to reach
His habitation, lifted high.
Exalting Him, adoring Him,
At one with what I glorify.
