176. Strains From the Far Away

1 I hear most wonderful melody
Come floating from yonder sphere;
It fills my bosom with ecstacy,
It ravishes heart and ear.

Refrain:
Then come to the beautiful stream of life,
Balm for all sorrow and refuge from strife;
Angels are singing: O hear the strain
And come to the fount of love.

2 These blessed strains from the far away
Resound o’er the land and sea;
They sweetly echo the Savior’s call,
“Ye weary ones come to Me.” [Refrain]

3 Sing on, sing on till the sons of men
To Father come flocking home;
Ye angels, sing your glad note again,
“Let all who are thirsting come.” [Refrain]

4 Yes, here is blessing and here’s a home
And rest from your anxious strife;
Let all the thirsty ones hither come
And drink of the water of life. [Refrain]
