There was once a foaming sea	A
Facing near eternity	A
On it a woman and child	B
With hair blowing in the wild	B
Stood on waves that heaved to sigh	C
Smiled upon the flaming sky	C
Their eyes burned with sunlit joy	D
Fiery gold without alloy	D
Something in their upward stare	E
Arose to sail on the air	E
Their souls united as one	F
Upon the waves of the sun	F
Over hill and over dell	G
They shone and on the bluebell	G
Smiling happy beams appeared	H
Wherein passers by were cheered	H
Swaying in sunny flowers	I
Singing sweetly in bowers	I
Merry birds entered the throng	J
With distended throats in song	J
Little children laughed with glee	A
Gazing at the far off sea	A
And in it the azure blue	K
Sung of things they never knew	K
The glints and gleams ever tossed	L
Till over the sea they crossed	L
With eyes of sapphire they danced	M
On glittering waves that pranced	M
Longing for another land	M
Delighting the Father grand	M
One of them a little boy	D
Spoke from an abundant joy	D
Inspired by a hidden tune	N
He spoke like the mirrored moon	N
That sits on a crystal lake	O
That from stillness did awake	O
Reflecting another light	M
The boy a fair shadow bright	M
Follow the woman and child	M
Up into the undefiled	M
Follow to the Father s face	P
See yourself in his embrace	P
A noble child of the king	Q
His beloved and his longing	Q
Look into his endless eyes	R
See where your true image lies	R
For there in tears' deep water	S
You are his son and daughter	S
He honours you with his look	T
His love flowing like a brook	T
Your cheeks like river banks fed	M
Fall on his and make their bed	M
Sinking into tender streams	U
Aloft upon happy beams	U
For even as the child spoke	V
His words to them did evoke	V
The reality of this	W
A sense of the Father s kiss	W
Every emotion and thought	M
Tender and beautifully wrought	M
One of them the eldest there	E
Even aged with snowy hair	E
Spied his flesh in waters clear	X
Till his wrinkles did appear	X
Then he ceased to dance about	M
In suspense and held in doubt	M
But straightway the Father spoke	V
Death annulled his spirit woke	V
And in stillness of the air	E
Words without wind echoed there	E
Held aloft by waves of joy	D
Falling on a little boy	D
Though your flesh old man declares	Y
Gaze till your sweet spirit stares	Y
And in innocence you are	Z
The bright shining of a star	Z
For even as he listened	M
His face in waters glistened	M
Sweetly there the Father dear	X
In his own face did appear	X
His flesh with wrinkles seemed sure	A2
But now young again and pure	A2
For indeed his flesh was young	B2
In his eyes the Father sung	B2
He sung of a country far	Z
He sung like the morning star	Z
He spoke like the distant shore	C2
That tells of things evermore	C2
On the horizon peeping	Q
Imploring long and weeping	Q
The children shout together	S
Make calm the stormy weather	S
Their minds become a blue sky	C
Where no cloud ever goes by	C
The Father s love and longing	Q
Makes them midst waves belonging	Q
To the country of pure gold	M
In clear sea their steps unfold	M
Glimpses of heavenly things	D2
Sweet visions of he that sings	D2
And smiles in soft waves breaking	Q
So they find themselves waking	Q
Ever coming more alive	E2
As if they did there arrive	E2
So that while on their journey	A
They are there just as surely	A
In the heavenly country	A
Dreaming of a distant sea	A
The sparkles of a sweet dream	F2
Seem inside each wave's soft gleam	F2
And in the realm of their heart	M
With paradise never part	M
The starry host numberless	A
Twinkling in their eyes caress	A
The same sweetness with their bright	M
Adding drops of dewy light	M
Oh bliss they left it behind	M
So long ago and still find	M
Joy joy joy ever growing	Q
From infinity flowing	Q
