Over the tide of that jas­per sea,
Dark and chill,
O come un­to Me.

For the sea­son cold and bright.
Lift my eyes to gaze on You;
start
In our hearts ce­les­tial voic­es
Spreading far o’er land and sea,
Meek and gen­tle, pure and mild;
Spreading far o’er land and sea,
Into the nar­row way
Beautiful bells of Ed­en chime,
Silent sleep, calm and deep;
Cloudless, eter­nal, that fades not away;
More than con­quer­or o’er His foes.
Was, and is, and e’er shall be;

Softly

The beau­ti­ful po­lar star.
Steals a strain of sil­ver song;
On, wea­ry wan­der­ers, ov­er life’s road;
Loving and ten­der, be­seech­ing its tone,
Peace, be still.
Telling of rest in its love-breath­ing tones;
Stealing through the sha­do­wy grove,
Of the white and glist­en­ing snow;
In Your strength, Lord, take me through.
Fades upon my sight away;
Day is pass­ing, night is com­ing;
Comes the morn­ing light to me.
Just as a lit­tle child.
Comes the morn­ing light to me.
Calling the sheep that stray.
Echo of joy from a white-robed throng,
Beckoning Is­ra­el’s eye from afar,
Home, where the ran­somed are ga­ther­ing to­day.
Turn from earth­ly toil away;
Fall, fall on me.
