3. Voices Talk to Me

1 Angel voices talk to me
All along life’s weary way,
On the mountain, by the sea,
In the vale where shadows stay,
In the busy marts of life
Where the croaking ravens be,
Where the vultures join in strife,
There the voices talk to me.

Refrain:
There the voices talk to me,
There the voices talk to me,
On the mountain, by the sea,
Angel voices talk to me.

2 Angel voices talk to me
As the waves of ocean rise,
Breaking on the waiting lea,
Casting rainbows on the skies;
As the balmy south-winds blow,
Murm’ring in the quiv’ring tree;
As the zephyrs come and go,
So the voices talk to me. [Refrain]

3 Angel voices talk to me,
Speak, as when a distant strain
Pitch’d to music’s softest key,
Breaks above a hill-girt plain—
Waking echoes in the hills,
Answered in the songful glee
Of the rippling, murm’ring rills;
So the voices talk to me. [Refrain]
