Sometimes I hear strange music,
Like none e�er heard before,
Come floating softly earthward
As through heavens open door:
It seems like angel voices,
In strains of joy and love,
That swell the mighty chorus
Around the throne above.
O sweet [unearthly/celestial] music,
Heard from a land afar�
The song of Heaven and Homeland,
Through doors God leaves ajar.
Now soft, and low, and restful,
It floods my soul with peace,
As if God�s benediction
Bade all earth�s troubles cease,
Then grander than the voices,
Of wind, and wave, and sea�
It fills the dome of heaven
With glorious harmony.
O sweet [unearthly/celestial] music,
Heard from a land afar�
The song of Heaven and Homeland,
Through doors God leaves ajar.
This music haunts me ever,
Like something heard in dreams�
It seems to catch the cadence
Of heavenly winds and streams.�
My heart is filled with rapture,
To think, some day to come,
I�ll sing it with the angels
The song of heaven and home.
O sweet [unearthly/celestial] music,
Heard from a land afar�
The song of Heaven and Homeland,
Through doors God leaves ajar.
