LyicsFlee, as a bird, to your moun-tain,
Thou who art wea-ry of sin;
Go to the clear flowing foun-tain,
Where you may wash and be clean!
Fly, for th' a-ven-ger is near thee;
Call, and the Sa-vior will hear thee,
He on his bo-som will bear thee,
Oh, thou who art wea-ry of sin,
Oh, thou who art wea-ry of sin.
He will pro-tect thee for-ev-er,
Wipe ev-ery sad, fall-ing tear;
He will for-sake thee, oh nev-er,
Sheltered so ten-der-ly there;
Haste, then, the hours now are fly-ing,
Spend not the moments in sigh-ing,
Cease from your sorrow and cry-ing,
The Sav-ior will wipe ev-ery tear,
The Sav-ior will wipe ev-ery tear.
