Communion Anthem Listen, Sweet Dove Katherine Burk Webb (b. 1990)
Text: George Herbert, 1633, from “Whitsunday”
Listen sweet Dove unto my song, and spread thy golden wings in me;
hatching my tender heart so long, till it get wing, and flie away with thee.
The sunne, which once did shine alone, hung down his head, and wisht for night,
when he beheld twelve sunnes for one going about the world, and giving light.
Such glorious gifts thou didst bestow, that th’earth did like a heav’n appeare;
the starres were coming down to knowif they might mend their wages, and serve here.
Lord, though we change, thou art the same; the same sweet God of love and light:
restore this day, for thy great name, unto his ancient and miraculous right.
