The words go like "he will raise you up on eagles wings & bear you on the breath of dawn" Something like that anyway.

The hymn is On Eagles Wings, written by Michael Joncas

You who dwell in th shelter of the Lord
who abide in his shadow for life
say to the Lord
My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust

And he will raise you up on eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
under his wings your refuge
his faithfulness your shield.

You need not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrows that flies by day
though thuisand fall about you
near you it shall not come

For to his angels he's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways
upon their hands they will bear you upo
lest you dash your foot against the stone.

Michael Crawford (the star of Phantom of the Opera back in the day) sings a beautiful version of this song. I have it on my ipod. It's amazing!

This is a hymn i have loved since I was a child. I'm glad I found it again.
