- 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 attun...

- I will sing you a song of that beautiful land,
The faraway home of the soul,
Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand,
While the years of eternity roll,
While the years of eternity roll;
Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand,
While the years of eternity roll. - Oh, that home of the soul! In my visions and dreams
Its bright, jasper walls I can see;
Till I fancy but thinly the veil intervenes
Between the fair city and me,
Between the fair city and me;
Till I fancy but thinly the veil i...

- Far away among the angels,
In the sweet celestial bow’rs,
Start the songs whose echoes gladden
As they greet this world of ours.- Refrain:
Hear the echoes filled with glory,
From the bright angelic throng;
Oh, the pure seraphic music
Finds an echo in our song,
While it gently rolls along.
- How they stir the soul with rapture!
How they thrill the chords of love!
How they wake the songs of praises,
Floating up to worlds above! - Far away in worlds of glory,
We can hear the music sweet,
Where the streams of life ...

- Come, gracious Spirit, heav’nly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
O’er every thought and step preside.
- The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose Thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from God may ne’er depart.
- Lead us to holiness, the road
Which we must take to dwell with God;
Lead us to Christ, the living Way,
Nor let us from His pastures stray.
- Lead us to God, our final rest,
To be with Him forever blest;
Lead us to...

- My life is Thine, Lord Jesus,
Bought with Thy blood divine,
And giv’n to Thee with gladness,
No longer mine, but Thine.
My heart is Thine, my Savior,
Not part, but all Thine own;
Oh, it is sweet to know that there
Thou hast Thy royal throne!
- My body I have yielded,
A sacrifice to be,
Oh, keep me pure and holy, Lord,
A temple meet for Thee.
My members, too, are Thine, Lord;
To Thee I all resign;
Then use them for Thy glory now,
And live Thy life through mine.
- My house is Thine, Lord Jesus,
And all that...
