Author: M. Rosing Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #340 (1927) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 I have borne the lark's swift pinions,
I have sung his joyous songs;
High above earth's vain dominions,
Paradise to me belongs,
Paradise to me belongs.
2 I have felt the home-ties clinging
Only where glad songs abound;
Echoes from my childhood's singing
Ever in my soul resound,
Ever in my soul resound.
3 Though the tears my eyes be blinding,
Can I see the heavens beam.
Soon the way I shall be finding
To my childhood's lofty dream,
To my childhood's lofty dream.
4 When with eyes and heart uplifted
Through the winter night I go,
I shall see, beyond snow-drifted
Death-lands, glorious flowers grow,
Death-lands, glorious flowers grow. Topics: Spiritual Songs Selected Languages: English Tune Title: [I have borne the lark's swift pinions]
