Flee As a Bird (with lyrics)

Lyrics:

Flee as a bird to your mountain,
Thou who art weary of sin;
Go to the clear flowing fountain,
Where you may wash and be clean;
Fly, for th'Avenger is near thee;
Call, and the Savior will hear thee;
He on his bosom will bear thee,
Thou who art weary of sin,
O thou who art weary of sin.
He is the bountiful giver,
Now unto him draw near;
Peace then shall flow like a river,
Thou shalt be saved from thy fear.
Hark! ,tis the Savior calling!
Haste! for the twilight is falling!
Flee, for the night is appalling!
And thou shalt be saved from thy fear,
And thou shalt be saved from thy fear.
He will protect thee forever,
Wipe ev'ry falling tear;
He will forsake thee, no, never,
sheltered so tenderly there.
Haste, then, the hours are flying,
Spend not the moments in sighing,
cease from your sorrow and crying,
the Savior will wipe ev'ry tear.
Come, then, to Jesus, thy Savior,
He will redeem thee from sin;
Blest with a sense of his favor,
Make thee allglorious within!
Call, for the Savior is near thee,
Waiting in mercy to hear thee;
He by his presence will cheer thee,
O thou who art weary of sin,
O thou who art weary of sin.

Thanks for another beautiful musical video. Are they singing in Swedish or English because I could hardly make out some of the words.

[Longing4Jesus]

@ProphetLuong They are singing in old English.

[ProphetLuong]

@Longing4Jesus LOL!!! Why are they singing in old English? LOL!!! And what old English is this from, the Middle Ages?

[Longing4Jesus]

@ProphetLuong Because this is a timeless hymn. This type of songs should be sung like the original. That's the beauty of it. This is English from the 19th century.

This was in my old church hymn book Great Songs of the Church, we never sang it though. I can't understand why such a beautiful song is not much better known.

[UrielEsperon]

Huye cual ave a tu monte, alma abrumada del mal; allí en Jesús, clara fuente, lava tu lepra mortal. Huye del mal vergonzoso, clame tu ser, temeroso; Cristo te ofrece reposo, ¡oh! alma abrumada del mal; ¡oh! alma abrumada del mal. 2 Quiere el Maestro salvarte, tu llanto enjugará; promete nunca dejarte, defensa fiel será. Ven, pues, va el día volando; no andesmás suspirando ni te detengas llorando: tus males Jesús quitará; tus males Jesús quitará.

@Longing4Jesus

Yes, it is not "Old English." There are just a few Elizabethan pronouns in it. It is a beautiful song both in word and musical note. Not one syllable should be changed.
