As if on the majestic wings,
of the regal bird, the eagle of the sky
rising effortlessly, ascending heavenward
Hope in the Lord; do not tire; do not grow faint
For your hope shall be made real
your faith given life
Your time of testing,
of trial a brief candle’s life
A fight no more, an easy row
a wide path for your journey
You will be lifted up
on strong wings of God’s love
Soar over your land
and sing his praises

Isaiah 40:31
but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint. (NRSV)
