What Heavenly Music

What heavenly music steals over the sea!
 Entrancing the senses like sweet melody!
 'Tis the voice of the angels born 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 the heavenly music hath ravished me so
 I must join in that! I'll go! let me go!
 I must join in that! I'll go! let me go!
