The Great Speckled Bird

[Verse 1]
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's holy word

[Verse 2]
All the other birds are flocking around her
They watch every move that she makes
But I'm sure they can watch until evening
And really they will find no mistake

[Verse 3]
She is spreading her wings for a journey
She is going to fly by and by
And when the trumpet sounds in the morning
She will meet the dеar Lord in the sky

[Verse 4]
In the presеnce of all her oppressors
With a song never uttered before
She will arise and be gone in a moment
Where the great tribulations are o'er

[Verse 5]
Oh, I am glad I have learned of her meekness
And I'm glad that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
On the face of my Savior to look

[Verse 6]
When He cometh descending from heaven
On a cloud as He writes in His word
I will be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of the great speckled bird
