There Shall be no More Sea

Author: Rev. Alson M. Doak Hymnal: LV1898 #14 (1898) Person Name: Rev. Alson M. Doak First Line: There shall be no more sea in that land, I am told Refrain First Line: I shall stand in the storm but a little while Lyrics: 1 There shall be no more sea in that land, I am told, Where the walls are of jasper and streets are of gold; Yet, as o'er the wild waves of life's conflict I'm tossed, I still wonder, sometimes, if my soul shall be lost. But although there are mysteries dark and unknown, I am sure, in their midst I shall not be alone, For that One who on earth lived a life without stain, Shall be close to my side to make ev'rything plain. Chorus: I shall stand in the storm but a little while, For the Master has said to me That I soon shall be tasting the pleasures sweet, Of that land where there is no sea. 2 He shall tell me the reason he carried away That sweet angel whose smile added light to the day The pure child that went out from the reach of earth's wrong Lured away by the music of heavenly song. And that mother, who went from her labor away, When her hair, by the weight of earth's crosses grew gray, I shall find in that land sweet with flow'rs from life's tree, Tho' now hidden from view by death's cold, cruel sea. [Chorus] 3 Oh, I wonder, sometimes, why God takes from my heart Those dear friends from whose love 'tis heart-crushing to part; But he speaks through the storm: "Trust and soon you will see That I've called them to do nobler service for me." Yea, life here has its conflicts and mysteries deep, And the sorrows of life make the heart often weep; But when all have rolled by, in that land I shall be, Where in raptures of joy I shall known no more sea. [Chorus] 3 Topics: Heaven Scripture: Revelation 21:1 Languages: English Tune Title: [There shall be no more sea in that land, I am told]
