  *++Lyrics:|\\
Flee as a bird to your mountain,\\
Thou who art weary of sin;\\
Go to the clear flowing fountain,\\
Where you may wash an be clean;\\
Fly, for th'avenger is near thee;\\
Call and the Saviour will hear thee,\\
He on his bosom will bear thee,\\
Thou who art weary of sin.\\
O thou, who art weary of sin.\\
\\
He will protect thee for ever,\\
Wipe ev'ry falling tear;\\
He will forsake thee, O never,\\
Sheltered so tenderly there;\\
Haste, then, the hours are flying,\\
Spend but the moments in sighing,\\
Cease from your sorrow and crying,\\
The Saviour will wipe ev'ry tear,\\
The Saviour will wipe ev'ry tear.\\
\\
