Representative Text

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]
