4681. O Beautiful Sea

1. 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.

2. Beautiful sea, O beautiful sea,
Thy glory shall never decline;
Over thy waves that silently flow
The beams of eternity shine. [Refrain]

3. 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]

4. 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]
