Music in Heaven

Mrs. J. M. Hunter • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 15:6-7

Verse 1

There is music in heaven o'er the saved ones of earth, From the Bible the story sweet is known; When the wand'rer, repenting, makes the Saviour his choice, When the Shepherd brings home His own!

Chorus

There is music, sweet music, up in heaven we know, O what int'rest for erring mortals shown! Holy angels rejoicing in the presence of God; When the Shepherd brings home His own.

Verse 2

In the desert, 'mid danger, strays the poor wayward sheep; Lo! the tempest is gath'ring, hear it moan! But a kind eye is watching, and a voice calls in love, See the Shepherd brings home His own!

Chorus

There is music, sweet music, up in heaven we know, O what int'rest for erring mortals shown! Holy angels rejoicing in the presence of God; When the Shepherd brings home His own.

Verse 3

Sinner, can you, rebellious, wander longer away? Jesus for your transgressions, did atone; Spotless angels are waiting, O how gladly they'll sing, When the Shepherd brings home His own!

Chorus

There is music, sweet music, up in heaven we know, O what int'rest for erring mortals shown! Holy angels rejoicing in the presence of God; When the Shepherd brings home His own.
