Church Hymnary (4th ed.) ‎#575

575. Oh, when the world is silent

[Refrain:]
Over my head, I see trouble in the air:
over my head, I see trouble in the air:
over my head, I see trouble in the air:
there must be a God somewhere.

1 Oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air:
oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air:
oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air:
there must be a God somewhere. [Refrain]

2 And when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air:
and when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air:
and when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air:
there must be a God somewhere. [Refrain]

3 Now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air:
now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air:
now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air:
there must be a God somewhere. [Refrain]
