Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCDEB DFGHGHFF IJKLKLJJ| Over the ocean of life s commotion | A |
| We sail till the night comes on | B |
| Sail and sail in a tiny boat | C |
| Drifting wherever the billows go | D |
| Out on the treacherous sea afloat | C |
| Beat by the cruel winds that blow | D |
| Hither and thither our boat is drawn | E |
| Till the day dies out and the night comes on | B |
| - | |
| Over a meadow of light and shadow | D |
| We wander with weary feet | F |
| Seeking a bauble men call Fame | G |
| Grasping the dead sea fruit named wealth | H |
| Finding each but an empty name | G |
| And the night the night steals on by stealth | H |
| And we count the season of slumber sweet | F |
| When hope lies dead in the arms of defeat | F |
| - | |
| Over the river a great Forever | I |
| Stretches beyond our sight | J |
| But I know by the glistening pearly gates | K |
| Afar from the region of strife and sin | L |
| A beautiful angel always waits | K |
| To welcome the sheep of the shepherd in | L |
| And out of the shadows of gloom and night | J |
| They enter the mansion of peace and light | J |
