320. The Lone, Wild Bird

1 The lone, wild bird in lofty flight
Is still with Thee, nor leaves Thy sight
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.

2 The ends of earth are in Thy hands,
The sea's dark deep and faroff land.
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.
