On Eagle's Wings | Catholic Hymn | Michael Joncas | Biden Victory Speech | Sunday 7pm Choir

For all those looking for solace and hope, we are proud to present 'On Eagle's Wings', a beautiful hymn referenced by Joe Biden and written by Michael Joncas that reminds us that God is with us through all our trials. This is the hymn referenced by Joe Biden in his 2020 victory speech.

From Joe Biden's victory speech: "In the last days of the campaign, I’ve been thinking about a hymn that means a lot to me and to my family, particularly my deceased son Beau. It captures the faith that sustains me and which I believe sustains America. And I hope it can provide some comfort and solace to the more than 230,000 families who have lost a loved one to this terrible virus this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well."

Michael Joncas' reaction to Joe Biden referencing his song in the speech (From @ColleenDulle tweet): "To quote the President-elect, "I was honored and humbled" to hear him quote "On Eagle's Wings" as he set out his initial vision for the country. I pray that the song can serve in some way to help the healing of our nation."

Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Church in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless.
