In the silence of the midnight, When the cares of day are o'er, In my soul I hear the voices Of the loved ones gone before;
And the words of comfort whisp'ring, Tell they'll watch on ev'ry hand, And I love, I love to list to Voices from the spirit land, And I love, I love to list to Voices from the spirit land.

In my wanderings, oft there cometh Sudden stillness to my soul; When around, above, within it Rapturous joys unnumber'd roll; Though around me all is tumult, Noise and strife on every hand, Yet within my soul I list to Voices from the spirit land.
3.
Loved ones that have gone before me Whisper words of peace and joy; Those that long since have departed, Tell me their divine employ Is to watch and guard my footsteps: Oh, it is an angel band! And my soul is cheered in hearing Voices from the spirit land.
