EN 1756 The Bird with the Broken Wing

Ps.124.7

Versi Version 1

1

I walked in the woodland meadows,

Where sweet the thrushes sing,

And found on a bed of mosses,

A bird with a broken wing;

I healed its wing, and each morning

It sang its old sweet strain,

But the bird with the broken pinion,

Never soared as high again,

Never soared as high again.

2

I found a young life broken

By sin’s seductive art,

And, touched with a Christlike pity,

I took him to my heart;

He lived with a nobler purpose,

And struggled not in vain,

But the life that sin had stricken,

Never soared as high again,

Never soared as high again.

3

But the bird with the broken pinion

Kept another from the snare,

The life that sin had stricken,

Raised another from despair;

Each loss has its own compensation,

There’s healing for each pain,

But the bird with the broken pinion

Never soared as high again,

Never soared as high again.
