A VOICE ON THE WAVE. Copyright, 1892, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words and Music by Chas. P. Edison. 
I heard a voice on the wave, as we swiftly sailed along; 'Twas a darksome night, no land in sight, no sound but the waves' wild song; Our ship was homeward bound, I was dreaming of loved ones dear, When an angel voice made my heart rejoice with its song so sweet and clear. 
Chorus. "Welcome home, love so true, fondly still I wait for you!" A voice on the wave I heard in my dream, it came like a heavenly tone; It rang thro' the night with love And delight-the voice of my darling, my own. 
Like music sweet in my dream came Hint voice with magic spell; And I saw again beyond the main the land that I loved So well; My love's sweet faith if told, and I saw her, with smile of joy, On the shore afar like a guiding star for her roving sailor boy.- Chorus.
