1. The lone, wild bird in lofty flight is still with you, nor leaves your sight. And I am yours! I rest in you, Great Spirit, come, rest in me, too. 2. The ends of earth are in your hand, the sea's dark deep and far off land. And I am yours! I rest in you, Great Spirit, come, rest in me, too. 3. Each secret thought is known to you, the path I walk my whole life through; my days, my deeds, my hopes, my fears, my deepest joys, my silent tears. Sts. 4-5 subject to copyright.
