The Sweetest Music..


There are voices that I hold in memory
      Those I lost them long ago
But the voice of one “altogether sweet”
       Is the sweetest music of all I know.

The song of jubilee that sweeps our land and sea
       One word of hope and cheer
The voice of one “altogether comely”
       Is the sweetest music of all I know.
The sweetest music...

The psalm of gladness that is sweeter than angel’s voice
        Makes the weak heart strong and brave
The voice of one “altogether lovely”
        Is the sweetest music of all I know.

Oh! This precious perfect music, that keeps the heart aglow
        Streaming from the fountain of love
The voice of one “altogether peaceful”
        Is the sweetest music of all I know.

The song of love that makes melody in my heart
        To the one, my dearest treasure
The voice of one “altogether sweet”
        Is the sweetest music of all I know.
