I did a bit of a search on the Wings of an angel/ wings of a dove lines:

I found this page:

Ballads & Songs of Southern Michigan-songbook

for a song called Seven Long Years, which has the following two lines:

If I had the wings of an angel,
Or like the wings of a dove,

SEVEN LONG YEARS
For a vanation of this song see Campbell and Sharp, p. 256; Eddy, No 68, text D; and Fuson, p. 118.
The present version was communicated in 1916 by Miss Louise Griffiths, a student in Michigan State Normal College, Ypsilanti; she obtained it from Miss Florence Ott, Halltown, West Virginia, who had learned it from school children.

1    O seven long years I've been married;
I wish. I had died an old maid,
For now I see nothing but trouble.
My husband won't work at his trade.

Chorus
Beautiful light o'er the ocean,
Beautiful light o'er the sea,
Beautiful light o'er the ocean,
My love, I am waiting for thee.

2    I have to go down to the barroom
And get him home if I can.
Young girls, you see nothing but trouble
When once you are tied to a man.

3    I have to get up in the morning,
Work hard and toil all the day;
At night I have to get supper
And put the dear children to bed.

4    If I had listened to mother,
I wouldn't have been here today;
But I was so young and so foolish,
I had to have my own way.

5    If I had the wings of an angel,
Or like the wings of a dove,
I'd fly across the wide ocean
And light in the arms of my love.

The line also reminded me of a verse in:

Botany Bay - Oz traditional song

Oh had I the wings of a turtle dove
I'd soar on my pinions so high
Slap bang to the arms of my Polly love
And in her sweet presence I'd die


I always wondered why that line is common in folk songs, but in my search I discovered that it is also a line from Psalm 55 in the Bible.

(Sorry, I never did much Bible reading in my younger days, otherwise I probably would have known that.)
