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.

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.

Refrain

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.
