496. The lone, wild fowl in lofty flight

1 The lone, wild fowl in lofty flight,
Is still with Thee, nor leaves Thy sight.
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.

2 The ends of earth are in Thy hand,
The sea's dark deep and no man's land.
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.

Amen.
