Text: | Like Noah's weary dove |
Author: | William Augustus Muhlenberg |
Tune: | REST |
1 Like Noah's weary dove,
That soared the earth around,
But not a resting-place above
The cheerless waters found:
2 O cease, my wandering soul,
On restless wings to roam;
All the wide world, to either pole,
Has not for thee a home.
3 Behold the ark of God,
Behold the open door;
Hasten to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
4 There safe thou shalt abide,
There sweet shall be thy rest,
And every longing satisfied,
With full salvation blest.
