452. What Heavenly Music

E             B            C#m F#m B  E
What heavenly music steals o- ver the sea!
E              B           C#m   F#m B7 E
Entrancing the senses like sweet mel-o- dy!
         B            E      C#   F#m     F#7 E B
Tis the voice of the angels born soft on the air
B7  E           B              C#m F#m  B7 E
For me they are singing; their wel-come I  hear


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
What heavenly music steals over the sea!
Entrancing the senses like sweet melody!
‘Tis the voice of the angels borne soft on the air;
For me they are singing; their welcome I hear.

[Verse 2]
On the banks of old Jordan, here gazing I stand,
And earnestly longing, I stretch forth my hand;
Send a convoy of angels, dear Jesus, I pray!
Let me join that sweet music; come, take me away.

[Verse 3]
Though dark are the waters and rough is the wave,
If Jesus permit, the wild surges I’ll brave;
For that heavenly music hath ravished me so,
I must join in that chorus! I’ll go! let me go!
