Like a bird on the deep, far away from its nest, I had wandered, my Saviour, from Thee ; But Thy kind, loving voice called me home to Thy breast, And I knew there was welcome for me !
Welcome for me, Saviour, from Thee I A welcome, glad welcome for me ! Now, like a dove, I rest in Thy love, And find a sweet refuge in Thee.
2. I am safe in the Ark; I have folded my wings On the bosom of mercy Divine ; I am filled with delight by Thy presence so bright, And the joy that will ever be mine.
3. Now in Jesus I rest, and I dread not the storm, Though around me the surges may roll ; I will look to the skies, where the day never dies, I will sing of the joy in my soul.
