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 hand,
    The sea's dark deep and far-off land.
    And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
    Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.
