LyicsFLEE, 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 Saviour will hear thee;
He on His bosom will bear thee,
O thou who art weary of sin!
He will protect thee forever,
Wipe every sad, falling tear;
He will forsake thee, O never,
Shelter'd so tenderly there.
Haste, then; the hours now are flying,
Spend not the moments in sighing;
Cease from your sorrow and crying,
The Saviour will wipe every tear.
