Give us the wings of faith

Ernest Bullock’s anthem Give us the wings of faith is ideal for moments of reflection or memorial, drawing on a text that looks beyond earthly struggle to heavenly reward. The SATB voicing offers rich harmonic possibilities as the choir considers the victory of the saints. The lyrics express a yearning for the assurance and joy experienced by those who have already reached their rest, contrasting their present glories with past sorrows. It powerfully conveys the idea that their triumph is a testament to Christ’s sacrifice and the guidance of His example, inspiring present-day believers to follow the same path toward eternal peace. The music would serve well to elevate the spirit and offer comfort.
