\nWhat heavenly music steals over the sea!
\nEntrancing the senses like sweet melody!
\n‘Tis the voice of the angels borne soft on the air;
\nFor me they are singing; their welcome I hear.<\/p>\n

\nOn the banks of old Jordan, here gazing I stand,
\nAnd earnestly longing, I stretch forth my hand;
\nSend a convoy of angels, dear Jesus, I pray!
\nLet me join that sweet music; come, take me away.<\/p>\n

\nThough dark are the waters and rough is the wave,
\nIf Jesus permit, the wild surges I’ll brave;
\nFor that heavenly music hath ravished me so,
\nI must join in that chorus! I’ll go! let me go!<\/p>\n
