Shall vibrate to each heart; 7
Where all the reign of peace might own,
Bidding dark fears depart
And thus does music strive toralse,
The thoughts from earths dark vale,
! To where eternal splendours blaze,
Where. anthems never fail
Where angels tune on golden Tyres,
The heavenly hymn of love;
And each ecstatic strain inspires,
The thoughts to realms above.
And every mortal they beseech,
To haste to worlds on high;
Where music does perfection reach,
In her bright home-the sky.
There endless happiness to win,
Upon the fowry plains.
Where cherybim and seraphim,
Chant everlasting strains.
Then, oh, may harmony inspire,
Our every action here;
That when is quenched life's feeble tiro,

The melody Of heaven;
Whose sweetest music still appears,
The hymn Of souls forgiven.
