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.
