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

As Doves to Their Windows
W. E. Penn
1832 - 1895 Author of "As Doves to Their Windows" in Lasting Hymns Penn, William Evander. (Near village of Old Jefferson, Rutherford County, Tennessee, August 11, 1832--April 29, 1895, Eureka Springs, Arkansas). Southern Baptist. Evangelist in Texas and other states, 1875-1895. Compiled three hymnals titled Harvest Bells (1881, 1884, 1887) for use in his meetings. His hymns were primarily revivalistic in emphasis. His finest hymn, "There is a rock in a weary land, Its shadow falls on the burning sand" was paid the compliment of being reworked and issued under the name of Edward Husband in D.B. Towner's Revival Hymns (Chicago, 1905).
He and his wife Corilla Frances Sayle adopted three children. Ordained December 4, 1880.

In 1880, he taught his first singing class in his old neighborhood school house. Later that year, he attended his first normal music school, taught at Mountain Home (now Holland), Texas.
Lincoln had other musical training under L. B. Shook (a former student of Philip Bliss) and John McPherson of Illinois. In 1898, he graduated from the Chicago National College of Music, and in 1906 took a post-graduate course under Horatio Palmer.
Lincoln eventually became president of the Songland Music Company, and the World’s Normal Musical College.
