Calling for Me

Representative Text

1 Over the tide of that jasper sea,
Softly a sweet voice is calling to me;
Loving and tender, beseeching its tone,
Dearly beloved, O why longer roam?

Refrain:
Calling, calling, yes, calling for me,
Over the tide of that jasper sea;
Calling, calling, yes, calling for me,
Over the tide of that jasper sea.

2 Over the tide of that jasper sea,
Softly the accents are pleading with me;
Pleading so gently in musical tone,
Dearly beloved, O why longer roam? [Refrain]

3 Over the tide of that jasper sea,
Cometh a vision of beauty to me;
Angels are beckoning a-down from the dome,
Dearly beloved, O why longer roam? [Refrain]
