Music and Love

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1890
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

Tenderly

soft and clear

Music and love we hear

In our Sab­bath dwell­ing

Songs of rap­ture swell­ing.

Gently their wings they blend

Sweetly their voic­es blend

Songs of ho­ly rap­ture swell­ing;

List to their car­ol

Joyful now they say

Come to the Sav­ior

Gladly haste away

Come to the ba­nquet

Waiting you to­day

Waiting for one and all.

Tenderly

soft and clear

Music and love we hear

In our Sab­bath dwell­ing

Songs of rap­ture swell­ing.

Gently their wings they blend

Sweetly their voic­es blend

Songs of ho­ly rap­ture swell­ing.

Over the morn­ing land

Over its gold­en strand

Oft they roam de­light­ed

Hand in hand unit­ed

Over the land of flow­ers

Over its ver­nal bow­ers

Love and mu­sic roam unit­ed.

Now

on their pin­ions

Fair and snowy white

Laved in a fount­ain

Sparkling

pure and bright

Come as an ar­row

From the vales of light

Comfort they bring to all.

Tell us

ye sis­ters fair

Wearing your gar­lands rare

Rose and li­ly twin­ing

All their charms com­bin­ing

Tell us of Him whose eye

Watcheth be­yond the sky

O’er our path

in beau­ty shin­ing;

Still they are sing­ing

Hear their tune­ful lay

Come to the Sav­ior

Trust Him while you may

Come to the ban­quet

Waiting you to­day

Waiting for one and all.
