E.E.Rexford/Ira D. Sankey SDA Church Hymnal (1985) Hymn # 472 [Verse 1]
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.
[Refrain]
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!
[Verse 2]
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.
[Refrain]
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!
[Verse 3]
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.
[Refrain]
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!
