452. What Heavenly Music

D             A            Bm Em  A   D
What heavenly music steals o- ver the sea!
D              A           Bm    Em  A7 D
Entrancing the senses like sweet mel-o- dy!
         A            D      B    Em      E7  D A
Tis the voice of the angels born soft on the air
A7  D           A              Bm  Em   A7 D
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!
