Flee As a Bird

 1

Flee 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.

2

He will protect thee forever,

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.

Mary S. B. Dana

Psalm 11

1 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Isaiah 40:11

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Revelation 7:17

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
