The Little Seraph ‎#116

116. Oh, I Love to Think of Jesus

1 Oh, I love to think of Jesus ,
As he sat beside the sea;
Where the waves were only murm'ring on the strand;
When he sat within the boat,
On the silver wave a-float,
While he taught the waiting people on the land.

Chorus:
Oh, I love to think of Jesus by the sea;
Oh, I love to think of Jesus by the sea;
And I love the precious word,
Which he spake to them that heard,
While he taught the waiting people by the sea.

2 Oh, I love to think of Jesus
As he walked upon the sea;
When the waves were rolling fearfully and grand;
How the winds and waves were still,
At the bidding of his will,
While he brought his loved disciples safe to land.

Chorus:
Oh, I love to think of Jesus by the sea,
Oh, I love to think of Jesus by the sea;
How he walked upon the wave,
His beloved ones to save,
While he brought them safely o'er the stormy sea.

3 Oh, I love to think of Jesus
As he walked beside the sea;
Where the fishers spread their nets upon the shore;
How he bade them follow him
And forsake the paths of sin,
And to be his true disciples evermore.

Chorus:
Oh, I love to think of Jesus by the sea,
Oh, I love to think of Jesus by the sea;
And I long to leave my all,
At my dear Redeemer's call,
And his true disciple evermore to be.
