O Beautiful Sea

Beautiful sea

O beau­ti­ful sea

Beyond the dark val­ley of time;

Over thy gen­tle

mur­mur­ing tide

The bells of eter­ni­ty chime.

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.

Beautiful sea

O beau­ti­ful sea

By faith we can some­times be­hold;

Visions of thee

so love­ly and bright

They fill us with rap­ture un­told.

Beautiful sea

O beau­ti­ful sea

We long on thy bo­som to rest;

Floating away

still float­ing away

Away to the isles of the blest.
