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?
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.
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?
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?
