Draw Near, O Holy Dove, Draw Near

DRAW NEAR, O HOLY DOVE, DRAW NEAR

by 

Aaron R. Wolfe (1821 - 1902)

Draw near, O Holy Dove, draw near,

With peace and gladness on thy wing;

Reveal the Saviour's presence here,

And light, and life, and comfort bring.

"Eat, O my friends--drink, O beloved!"

We hear the Master's voice exclaim:

Our hearts with new desire are moved,

And kindled with a heavenly flame.

No room for doubt, no room for dread,

Nor tears, nor groans, nor anxious sighs;

We do not mourn a Saviour dead,

But hail him living in the skies!

While this we do, remembering thee,

Dear Saviour, let our graces prove,

We have thy blessed company,

Thy banner over us is love.
