As birds unto the genial homeland fly
The winter s cold and low ring skies to flee
So seeks my soul Thy gracious presence here
And finds O God its rest and peace in Thee.

Here at Thy shrine we leave all vexing care
For get the disappointment grief and tear
And on the wings of hopeful song and prayer
We rise and rising feel Thy Spirit here.

Bless all who spend this night in pain and woe
The burdened heart the fainting and distressed
Thy comfort send to darkened homes bereaved
Thy saving help to those by want oppressed.

Come Sabbath joy each trusting heart now fill
And blissful peace within our homes abide
May thankful praise each grateful heart now thrill
And to God s loving care their lives confide.
