[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Oh, when shall I see Jesus and reign with Him above?
And from the flowing fountain drink everlasting love?

[Chorus]
Oh, had I wings I would fly away and be at rest
And I'd praise God in His bright abode

[Verse 2]
Whene'er you meet with troubles and trials on your way
Cast all your cares on Jesus and don't forget to pray

[Chorus]
Oh, had I wings I would fly away and be at rest
And I'd praise God in his bright abode

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Gird on the gospel armor of faith and hope and love
And when the combat's ended, he'll carry you above

[Chorus]
Oh, had I wings I would fly away and be at rest
And I'd praise God in his bright abode
[Verse 4]
Oh, do not be discouraged, for Jesus is your friend
And if you lack for knowledge, he'll not refuse to lend

[Chorus]
Oh, had I wings I would fly away and be at rest
And I'd praise God in his bright abode

[Outro]
Hm
And I'd praise God in his bright abode
I will praise God in his bright abode
