The Dove of Noah

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: On wings of hope a rest to seek Refrain First Line: Oh, hear, oh hear while wand'ring far Lyrics: 1 On wings of hope a rest to seek, The dove of Noah soared Far through the dim unfathomed space Where shoreless oceans roared, Where shoreless oceans roared, But ah! she found no valley green, No resting place, no track Until the peaceful ark received The weary wand’rer back. Refrain: Oh hear, oh hear while wand’ring far, The call from heaven above The ark to which the soul returns Is our Redeemer’s love. 2 So we on life’s tempestuous sea, Beset with grief and pain, May seek a solace here below, But ah! the search is vain, But ah! the search is vain. A resting place for weary ones Is only found above, The ark to which the soul returns Is our Redeemer’s love. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [On wings of hope a rest to seek]
