What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning the great speckled bird
Remember his name is recorded
In the great book of God's Holy Word

The great speckled bird sits in splendor
All surrounded and despised by the mob
The great speckled bird is the Bible
Representing the great church of God

I am glad that I come to your meeting
I'm proud that my name is of a bird
For I want to be one never fearing
In the arms of my Saviour's true word

When He comes, if He comes, I will greet Him
On a cloud that is floating in the word
I will rise up my Saviour to greet Him
On the wings of a great speckled bird.
