Author: Rev. Henry Francis Tyte Hymnal: International Song Service #242 (1895) Hymnal Title: International Song Service First Line: O had I, my Saviour, the wings of a dove Lyrics: 1 O had I, my Saviour, the wings of a dove,
How soon would I soar to Thy presence above;
How soon would I flee where the weary have rest,
And hide all my cares in Thy sheltering breast.
2 I flutter, I struggle, I pant to get free;
I feel me a captive while banished from Thee:
A pilgrim and stranger, the desert I roam,
And look on to heaven, and long to be home. Languages: English
Longing for Rest
