Verse 1 ~ Sometimes I hear strange music,      Like none e'er heard before, Come floating softly earthward      As thro' heav'n's open door: It seems like angel voices,      In strains of joy and love, That swell the mighty chorus      Around the throne above. Refrain ~ O sweet, celestial music,      Heard from a land afar - The song of Heav'n and Homeland,      Thro' doors God leaves ajar! Verse 2 ~ Now soft, and low, and restful,      It floods my soul with peace, As if God's benediction      Bade all earth's troubles cease. Then grander than the voices,      Of wind, and wave, and sea - It fills the dome of heaven      With glorious harmony. Verse 3 ~ This music haunts me ever,      Like something heard in dreams - It seems to catch the cadence      Of heav'nly winds and streams, My heart is filled with rapture,      To think, some day to come, I'll sing it with the angels -      The song of heav'n and home.
