Christ in Song 133
The Dove of Peace
Words: M. H. HuntingtonMusic: Francis L. Huntington
1The dove of peace bath spread her wings,
And light and melody she brings;
The dove of peace hath radiant wings,
And light and mel - o - dy she brings; be - hold! of her room - er-coming King;
The dove of peace, of peace, of peace,
Behold her in her glo - ry bright.
RefrainIt is the achoor Love's sweet song,
Of peace, of truth that we so long to;
The dove of peace sings in my soul,
'The Saviour's Blood doth make me whole.'
2The dove of peace, of peace, of peace,
Hath come to earth her flight;
O within their heart the dove will light,
For Jesus came to bring us light, from sin's great darkness into light,
O love!
