What heavenly music steals over the sea!
Entrancing the senses like sweet melody!
'Tis the voice of the angels
Borne soft on the air
For me they are singing
Their welcome I hear
On the banks of old Jordan here gazing I stand
And earnestly longing
I stretch forth my hand
Send a convoy of angels
Dear Jesus I pray!
Let me join that sweet music
Come take me away
Though dark are the waters and rough is the wave
If Jesus permit the wild surges I'll brave
For that heavenly music hath ravished me so
I must join in that chorus!
I'll go!
Let me go!
Let me go!
