Wings of the Morning Songtext
von John Rutter

If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me,
And they right hand shall hold me.


If I climb up into heaven, thou art there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me.
Thou knoest me down-sitting and my uprising,
Thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways,
For there is not a word in my tongue,
But lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether:
Whither shall I go from they spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from they presence?
Lord, thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me,
And thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me;
Even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee.
But the night shineth as the day.

If I take the wings of the morning,
Thou art there, O Lord, thou art there.
