| When the eagle finds her brood is fledged | A |
| She stirreth up the nest | A |
| Gently she fluttereth over it | A |
| And breaketh up their rest | A |
| - | |
| She taketh them she beareth them | C |
| She spreadeth abroad her wings | D |
| Then soars aloft to a purer air | E |
| Above terrestrial things | D |
| - | |
| Thus when the heart with the cares of time | F |
| Is burdened and oppressed | A |
| 'Tis only the parent hand of love | G |
| That is stirring up the nest | A |
| - | |
| He found us in the wilderness | H |
| When no strange god was nigh | I |
| He instructed us He kept us | H |
| As the apple of His eye | I |
| - | |
| Now His wing is fluttering over us | H |
| And stirring up the nest | A |
| For the Lord alone is leading us | H |
| To His bright and glorious rest | A |
| - | |
| The shining host of ransomed ones | J |
| There worship and adore | K |
| Fulness of joy their portion is | L |
| Pleasure forever more | K |
| - | |
| Then be glad when the Father teaches us | H |
| That this is not our rest | A |
| And bless the hand of sparing love | G |
| That stirreth up the nest | A |
| - | |
| For those who know no chastisement | A |
| Are not the sons of God | A |
| He chooseth His adopted ones | J |
| Beneath the chastening rod | A |
| - | |
| Thus when the fond heart reareth up | M |
| A little ark of rest | A |
| How soon the fluttering wing is heard | A |
| That stirreth up the nest | A |
| - | |
| But ah He spreadeth it abroad | A |
| And teacheth us to soar | K |
| To the realms of cloudless blessedness | H |
| Where change is known no more | K |
