- Edition notes: The source gives the parts in the order Tenor - Alto - Treble - Bass (labelled as such in the first piece in the book).

English text
Give me the wings of faith to rise
Within the veil and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
I ask them whence their vict'ry came;
They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
Their triumph to his death.
They mark the footsteps that he trod
(His zeal inspir'd their breast),
And, foll'wing their incarnate God,
Possess the promis'd rest.
Our glorious leader claims our praise
For his own pattern giv'n;
While the long cloud of witnesses
Shows the same path to heav'n.
