Sheet music
- 1Like 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.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. (In Thee.)
- 2I 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.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. (In Thee.)
- 3I am safe in the ark, and I dread not the storm,Tho’ 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.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. (In Thee.)
