GUEST,rob Lyr Req: The Lone Wild Fowl (McFayden) (8) RE: Lyr Req: The Lone Wild Fowl (McFayden) 05 Oct 13


The Marty Haugen amendments are clunky...
this is adapted from the Presbyterian Hymnal (1990) which only has the first two verses...

1.        The lone, wild bird 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 far-off land.
And I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.

3.        Each secret thought is know to you,
the path I walk my whole life through;
my days, my deeds, my hopes, my fears,
my deepest joys, my silent tears.

4.         In secret depths you knit my frame,
before my birth you spoke my name;
within my soul, as close as breath,
so near to me, in life, in death.

5.         O search me, God, my heart reveal,
renew my life, my spirit heal,
for I am Thine! I rest in Thee.
Great Spirit, come, and rest in me.
