Mourning Dove Song
A Vespers Anthem for 2 Section Children’s Choir & Handbells / Harp / Guitar / Keyboard
Mourning Dove
Ver. 2 ©2005 Thomas Parks
This started out when the Mourning Doves came back and began singing their mournful song. I set it to music for Flute, Pan Flute, and Harp…and that’s what you hear in this download. That led me into the lyrics below. They don’t fit the title but maybe I’ll change that...Any ideas?

This has not been sung, so instruments are used for voices. (Flute & Pan Flute, Harp)
If you use it, please send me a recording that I may use on this site, and for seeking publication. Evening comes. Day is done.
Night’s black pall, covers all.
Lord we pray, You will stay,
at our sides, through the night.

Guard our dreams, as we sleep.
Keep us safe, through the night.
We won’t fear, when we wake.
Jesus came, for our sake.
