The crystal sea

Hymnal: The Little Seraph #96b (1874) First Line: Sweet music it be to dwell secure Refrain First Line: And this our happy lot shall be Lyrics: 1 Sweet must it be to dwell secure From simple stain, from thought impure, No wand'ring footstep to retrace, No mourning for the Saviour's face: Chorus: And this our happy lot shall be, When we have reach'd the crystal sea, When we have reach'd, have reach'd the crystal sea. 2 How oft the struggling spirit tries For blest communion with the skies; How oft we pray that we may bear Christ's perfect image even here; Chorus: And O, like Jesus we shall be, When we have reach'd, the crystal sea, When we have reach'd, have reach'd the crystal sea. 3 They who have safely gone before, Whose feet grow weary never more, Receive, in that dear land of bliss, All their souls panted for in this; And their enjoyment ours shall be, When we have reach'd the crystal sea. 4 I see them now in spotless white, I hear their song of sweet delight; Beside the living stream they rest, And Jesus makes them truly blest; With that bright throne we, too, shall be When we have reach'd the crystal sea.
