The Music of Heaven

Representative Text

1 O the music sweet of heav'n I hear,
When glows the early morn;
Its cadence, falling soft and clear,
Awakes the world from sleep.

Chorus;
O the music sweet of heav'n I hear,
It cheers my heart each day;
O lighter grows my heavy load,
And brighter shines the way.

2 O the music sweet of heav'n I hear,
When noontide's with'ring beam
Annoys and fills my soul with fear,
O priceless then it seems. [Chorus]

3 O the music sweet of heav'n I hear,
When twilight shadows fall;
To dim my faith no clouds appear,
Christ's love o'erruleth all. [Chorus]
