First Line: Like a bird on the deep, far away from its nest,

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.
