1.我耳常听闻妙音,他人从未听过,
上天门户似敞开,飘来柔和音波,
仿佛天使齐发声,因爱欢然唱和,
荣耀诗班同颂赞,环绕恩主宝座。
2.此歌萦绕在我心,恍若梦里情真,
似闻天风追碧波,音韵优美绝伦,
每念未来永福日,我心喜乐充盈,
得与天使常唱和,天乡美妙佳音。
(副歌)
天乡乐歌何清妙,人间几曾听到!
上帝将天门敞开,传来和声美调。
1
Sometimes I hear strange music,
Like none e’er heard before,
Come floating softly earthward
As thro’ heav’n’s open door:
It seems like angel voices,
In strains of and love,
That swell the mighty chorus
Around the throne above.
Refrain
O sweet, celestial music,
Heard from a land afar-
The song of Heav’n and Homeland,
Thro’ doors God leaves ajar!
2
Now soft, and low, and restful,
It floods my soul with peace,
As if God’s benediction
Bade all earth’s troubles cease.
Then grander than the voices,
Of wind, and wave, and sea-
It fills the dome of heaven
With glorious harmony.
3
This music haunts me ever,
Like something heard in dreams-
It seems to catch the cadence
Of heav’nly winds and streams,
My heart is filled with rapture,
To think, some day to come,
I’ll sing it with the angels-
The song of heav’n and home.
