Sheet music
- 1There 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 Savior his choice,When the Shepherd brings home His own!There is music, sweet music, up to 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.
- 2In 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!There is music, sweet music, up to 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.
- 3Sinner, 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!There is music, sweet music, up to 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.
