452 What Heavenly Music
[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.

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.

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!
