Author: Mary S. B. Dana Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #151 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.8 First Line: Flee as a bird to your mountain Lyrics: 1 Flee as a bird to your mountain,
Thou who art weary of sin;
Go to the clear flowing fountain
Where you may wash and be clean.
Fly, for th'avenger is near thee;
Call and the Savior will hear thee;
He on His bosom will bear thee,
O thou who art weary of sin,
O thou who art weary of sin.
2 He will protect Thee for ever,
Wipe ev'ry falling tear;
He will forsake thee, O never,
Sheltered so tenderly there.
Haste, then, the hours are flying,
Spend not the moments in sighing,
Cease from your sorrow and crying:
The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear,
The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear. Topics: Refuge & Rest Scripture: Psalm 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: IN DOMINO CONFIDO
