Beautiful Sea, O Beautiful Sea

Beautiful sea, O beautiful sea,

Beyond the dark valley of time;

Over thy gentle, murmuring tide

The bells of eternity chime.

Refrain

Beautiful beautiful, ocean of light,

Reflected from Eden above,

Where they that are washed in the blood of the Lamb

Abide in the smile of His love.

Beautiful sea, O beautiful sea,

Thy glory shall never decline;

Over thy waves that silently flow

The beams of eternity shine.

Refrain

Beautiful sea, O beautiful sea,

By faith we can sometimes behold;

Visions of thee, so lovely and bright,

They fill us with rapture untold.

Refrain

Beautiful sea, O beautiful sea,

We long on thy bosom to rest;

Floating away, still floating away,

Away to the isles of the blest.

Refrain
