Text:Sweetly Falls the Spirit Message

72. Sweetly Falls the Spirit Message

1 Sweetly falls the spirit's message
From the home beyond the tide
Ever do we bid thee welcome.
Dwellers from the other side.

Refrain:
Welcome, loved ones, we are waiting
To receive our words of cheer;
Ever do they give us comfort
'mid our toilsome journey here.

2 Often fall the clouds so dreary
O'er the rough and hidden way,
When with care we oft grow weary,
For your cheering words we pray. [Refrain]

3 Sweetly falls the loving message
When we pause blinded by tears,
To bind up the broken fragments
Of our work of lonely years. [Refrain]
