Savior, like a bird to Thee

in Hymns

LYRIC

Print

1. Savior, like a bird to Thee,
Weary and wounded my soul would flee;
O let me fold my wings and rest
Peacefully, trustingly, on Thy breast.

Refrain
Like a bird let me fly to Thee,
In Thine arms kindly shelter me;
Then my soul no more shall roam
Far, far away from home.

2. Savior, Thou my grief hast borne,
Thou hast a balm for the hearts that mourn;
One gentle word, and I shall rest
Hopefully, lovingly, on Thy breast.

3. I was lost till found by Thee;
Thine, blessèd Savior, the glory be;
Gladly I fold my wings and rest,
Lovingly, tenderly, on Thy breast.

      1. Savior, like a bird to Thee,
      Weary and wounded my soul would flee;
      O let me fold my wings and rest
      Peacefully, trustingly, on Thy breast.

      Like a bird let me fly to Thee,
      In Thine arms kindly shelter me;
      Then my soul no more shall roam
      Far, far away from home.

      2. Savior, Thou my grief hast borne,
      Thou hast a balm for the hearts that mourn;
      One gentle word, and I shall rest
      Hopefully, lovingly, on Thy breast.

      3. I was lost till found by Thee;
      Thine, blessèd Savior, the glory be;
      Gladly I fold my wings and rest,
