| Like a bird on the deep, far away from its nest,I had wandered, my Savior, from Thee,
 But Thy dear loving voice called me home to Thy breast,
 And I knew there was welcome for me.
 Refrain Welcome for me, Savior, from Thee;A smile and a welcome for me;
 Now, like a dove, I rest in Thy love,
 And find a sweet refuge in Thee.
 I am safe in the ark; I have folded my wingsOn the bosom of mercy divine;
 I am filled with the light, of Thy presence so bright,
 And the joy that will ever be mine.
 Refrain I am safe in the ark, and I dread not the storm,Though around me the surges may roll;
 I will look to the skies, where the day never dies,
 I will sing of the joy in my soul.
 Refrain |
