Hymnal: National Jubilee Melodies #27 (1916) First Line: Virgin Mary had one son Lyrics: Refrain:
Sing a-ho that I had the wings of a dove,
Sing a-ho that I had the wings of a dove,
Sing a-ho that I had the wings of a dove;
I'd fly away and be at rest.
1 Virgin Mary had one Son,
I'd fly away and be at rest,
The Jews and Romans had him hung.
I'd fly away and be at rest. [Refrain]
2 Zion's daughters wept and mourned,
I'd fly away and be at rest,
When their dying Saviour groaned,
I'd fly away and be at rest. [Refrain]
3 Sinner-man, see what a shame,
I'd fly away and be at rest,
To trample down your Saviour's name.
I'd fly away and be at rest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Virgin Mary had one son]
