452. What Heavenly Music

C             G            Am Dm  G   C
What heavenly music steals o- ver the sea!
C              G           Am    Dm  G7 C
Entrancing the senses like sweet mel-o- dy!
         G            C      A    Dm      D7  C G
Tis the voice of the angels born soft on the air
G7  C           G              Am  Dm   G7 C
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!
