Sheet music
- 1Flee as a bird to your mountain,Thou who art weary of sin;Go to the clear flowing fountain,Where you may wash and be clean.Fly, for th‘ avenger is near thee;Call, and the Savior will hear thee;He on His bosom will bear Thee,O thou who art weary of sin,O thou who art weary of sin.
- 2He will protect thee for ever,Wipe ev'ry falling tear;He will forsake thee, O never,Sheltered so tenderly there.Haste, then, the hours are flying,Spend not the moments in sighing,Cease from your sorrow and crying;The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear,The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear.
