A lone bird of prey glides through the stillness, suspended between land and spirit — a silent guardian, or perhaps a symbol of our own ascent.
"On Eagle's Wings" is a beloved Christian hymn composed by Michael Joncas in 1979. It draws its imagery and inspiration primarily from Psalm 91, along with passages from Exodus 19 and Isaiah 40. The hymn became widely popular in both Catholic and Protestant communities, often sung at funerals, memorials, and moments of reflection because of its comforting message of protection, strength, and divine presence.

Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand."
