1.The dove of peace sings in my heart,"In strife and war thou hast no part;Thy place among the hosts of wrongIs but to echo love's sweet song."Refrain:The dove of peace sings in my soul,"Thy Saviour's blood doth make thee whole;"The Spirit's voice, like wooing dove,Sings of my Saviour's deathless love.2.The dove of peace hath radiant wings,And light and melody he brings;He tells of my soon-coming King,Of praises that the angels sing. [Refrain]3.O gentle voice of Jesus' love!It links the life to heav'n above,And thro' all sorrow and all wrongO'erflows the soul with tender song. [Refrain]4.The dove of peace shall ne'er depart,But keep his home within my heart.E'en when I rise to worlds above,I'll hear the singing of the dove. [Refrain]5.O wouldst thou hear the dove within?Let Jesus cleanse thy heart from sin:Then in sweet measures from aboveThou'lt hear the music of his love. [Refrain]
