Draw near, O Holy Dove, draw near

Verse 1

Draw near, O Holy Dove, draw near, With peace and gladness on thy wing; Reveal the Saviour's presence here, And light, and life, and comfort bring.

Verse 2

"Eat, O my friends--drink, O beloved!" We hear the Master's voice exclaim: Our hearts with new desire are moved, And kindled with a heavenly flame.

Verse 3

No room for doubt, no room for dread, Nor tears, nor groans, nor anxious sighs; We do not mourn a Saviour dead, But hail him living in the skies!

Verse 4

While this we do, remembering thee, Dear Saviour, let our graces prove, We have thy blessed company, Thy banner over us is love.
