O Je­sus, at Thy cross I fall!
Had I the pin­ions of a dove,
Had I the pin­ions of a dove,
So swift, by life’s tri­als o’er­whelmed and op­pressed,
This world is all en­chant­ed ground,
Divinely sweet, di­vine­ly bright,

I fly

And on Thy hal­lowed name I call:
To realms of light and joy and love,
To realms of light and joy and love,
The nest, whi­ther speed­eth the storm beat­en bird,
The venge­ful flames are kind­ling round,
