A Sound of Music Floateth by John Liptrot Hatton — Lyrics

John Liptrot Hatton English Sacred Partsongs Staff notation

Full Lyrics

A sound of music floateth Upon the morning air; The voices of little children Chanting their simple prayer. Softly their holy burden Heavenward the breezes bear, Till by sweet choirs of angels, ’Tis caught up and echoed there. And He, above, who listens, Is the same who spake of old, Those words on our hearts that are written In characters of gold: “Forbid not the little children, Let them come unto me, For of such is my Father’s Kingdom, They who enter, like these must be.”
