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                 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                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           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!
