Welcome for Me

Like 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.

I am safe in the ark;

I have fold­ed my wings

On the bo­som of mer­cy di­vine;

I am filled with the light

Of Thy pre­sence so bright

And the joy that will ev­er be mine.

I am safe in the ark

And I dread not the storm

Though 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.
