A Song Of Heaven And Homeland

G C G Sometimes I hear strange music, C G Like none e’er heard before, G D C G Come floating softly earthward G C D As thro’ Heav’n’s open door: G C G It seems like angel voices, C G In strains of joy and love, G C G That swell the mighty chorus C D G A - round the throne above. G D C G O sweet, celestial music, D D7 Heard from a land afar— G C G The song of Heav’n and Homeland, C G D D7 G Thro’ doors God leaves a - jar! G C G Now soft, and low, and restful, C G It floods my soul with peace, G D C G As if God’s benediction G C D Bade all earth’s troubles cease. G C G Then, grander than the voices C G Of wind, and wave, and sea— G C G It fills the dome of Heaven C D G With glorious harmony. G D C G O sweet, celestial music, D D7 Heard from a land afar— G C G The song of Heav’n and Homeland, C G D D7 G Thro’ doors God leaves a - jar! G C G This music haunts me ever, C G Like something heard in dreams— G D C G It seems to catch the cadence G C D Of heav’nly winds and streams. G C G My heart is filled with rapture, C G To think, some day to come, G C G I’ll sing it with the angels— C D G The song of Heav’n and home. G D C G O sweet, celestial music, D D7 Heard from a land afar— G C G The song of Heav’n and Homeland, C G D D7 G Thro’ doors God leaves a - jar!
