323b Soft Music

Tune: B. F. White, 1850

Words: Mary Stanley Bruce Dana

Meter: Particular Meter: 7,6,7,7

Soft, soft music is stealing,
Sweet, sweet lingers the strain;
Loud, loud, now it is pealing,
Waking the echoes again!
Yes, yes, yes, yes;
Waking the echoes again.

Join, join, children of sadness,
Send, send sorrow away;
Now, now changing to gladness,
Warble this beautiful lay.
Yes, yes, yes, yes;
Warble this beautiful lay.

Hope, hope, fair and enduring,
Joy, joy, bright as the day;
Love, love, heaven insuring,
Sweetly invites you away.
Yes, yes, yes, yes;
Sweetly invites you away.
