As Doves To Their Windows

Author: William E. Penn Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15933 Meter: 11.11.11.11 D First Line: As doves to their windows when darkness draws nigh Refrain First Line: As doves to their windows when tempests are high Lyrics: 1 As doves to their windows when darkness draws nigh, My soul in its longings to Jesus would fly; When dark waves of sorrow would over me roll, In Jesus, my Savior, there’s for rest my soul. Refrain: As doves to their windows when tempests are high, As doves to their windows when darkness draws nigh; There’s refuge in Jesus for each weary soul, When dark waves of sorrow would over it roll. 2 The windows of Heaven stand open and wide, Where earth’s weary pilgrims may ever abide; Then why do we tarry in darkness and sin, While Jesus is waiting to welcome us in? [Refrain] 3 Then come, trembling sinner, no longer delay; As doves to their windows, fly quickly away; Away from the sins that would sink thy poor soul, Where death’s stormy billows eternally roll. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SAMARA
