Lyrics
- 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
Thou who art weary of sin
O, thou who art weary of sin
2 He will protect thee forever
Wipe every 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 every tear
The Savior will wipe every tear
