Sing Aho That I Had the Wings of a Dove

Hymnal: National Jubilee Melodies #27 (1916) First Line: Virgin Mary had one son Lyrics: Refrain: Sing a-ho that I had the wings of a dove, Sing a-ho that I had the wings of a dove, Sing a-ho that I had the wings of a dove; I'd fly away and be at rest. 1 Virgin Mary had one Son, I'd fly away and be at rest, The Jews and Romans had him hung. I'd fly away and be at rest. [Refrain] 2 Zion's daughters wept and mourned, I'd fly away and be at rest, When their dying Saviour groaned, I'd fly away and be at rest. [Refrain] 3 Sinner-man, see what a shame, I'd fly away and be at rest, To trample down your Saviour's name. I'd fly away and be at rest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Virgin Mary had one son]
