The music of heaven is sweeter in measure And purer in every strain Than the music of earth, though it fill us with pleasure, As it thrillingly rolls over valley and plain.
Refrain: Oh, music of heaven, so rich and so sweet; Oh, joy that it brings us, so full and complete.
The music of heaven is grander in rhyming Than any that mortal e’er toned, And the mansions of glory forever are chiming With the songs that arise to the Savior enthroned.
The music of heaven, no mortal can sing it, Save he who attunes his poor soul At the throne of the Father, to swell and to ring it, With the angels to make it through paradise roll.
