Lyrics:

Alleluia. The White Dove hovered in the still, clear air, with such celestial beauty, 
While God’s dear Son stood in the water cool. 
Alleluia. The White Dove hovered in the still clear air, with such ethereal beauty,
And there did John baptize our Lord Jesu.
Alleluia. The Dove descended through the still, clear air with such transcendent beauty,
And rested on our Savior, Lord Jesu. Alleluia.
