Sung by: Unknown Artist

What a beautiful thought I am thinking;
It's concerning that great speckled bird--
Oh, the great speckled bird in the Bible,
Representing the great church of God.
When he cometh descending from Heaven,
On the clouds that he writes in his word,
Oh, I want to be one never fearing
The pages of God's holy word.
Oh, I'm proud that I've learned of her meekness,
I am proud that my name's on her book,
For I want to be one never fearing
The pages of God's holy word.
