A TRIBUTE TO MUSIC, by                    
First Line: When music fills the soul of man
Last Line: O music, life of man defend.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


When music fills the soul of man
There is no room for sin
So open wide your heart-door, friend,
Let music dwell within.

Oh, that we this glorious gift
Employ to magnify
The God who gave His Son that we
Might live and never die.

For songs like deeds will win the soul
Of man beset with ill.
So sing the songs of love and home
The hungry spirit fill.

With thoughts that cheer, cast out all gloom
And we can help you know,
By singing songs that thrill the heart
And make the pale cheek glow.

Blest music, man's inspiring friend,
Up to thy starry throne ascend
And with you souls of man will trend,
O music, life of man defend.
