Author: Aaron R. Wolfe Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: Draw near, O Holy Dove, draw near Lyrics: 1 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.
2 "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.
3 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!
4 While this we do, remembering thee,
Dear Saviour, let our graces prove,
We have thy blessed company,
Thy banner over us is love. Topics: Church Ordinances of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:4 Used With Tune: SESSIONS
