Song #72

A Bird In Its Nest

1)
Now a bird has found its nest
A weary swallow has found its refuge
A frightened dove finds a place to dwell
When the world around me clamors
In the Savior's arms I find rest
And safety, free and peaceful

chor) Unto Jesus will I hasten
There only have I blessing and joy
In His care I will rest
Like a bird in its nest
Safe and satisfied

2)
When in trouble, there I find refuge
And would a lion seek to devour my soul
I shall hasten unto that care
When hurtfull arrows vainly fly

3)
With my Jesus I am at peace
There is naught can do me ill
Here in death's dark shadow
He soon will rescue His shy dove
Away from this earth's harshness
Up to His lovely joys in heaven
