Crowning Day No. 2 ‎#188

188. By the Crystal Sea

1 I will sing a song of that land so fair,
Over by the crystal sea;
Where the blessed throng of the ransomed are,
Over by the crystal sea.

Refrain:
Heav’nly Canaan, bright Canaan,
O may our portion be
To find a home in thee,
Heav’nly Canaan, bright Canaan,
Over by the crystal sea.

2 There no foes prevail, there no fears annoy,
Over by the crystal sea;
There our souls may dwell in eternal joy.
Over by the crystal sea. [Refrain]

3 We will rest in peace, by the waters side,
Over by the crystal sea;
In the love of Christ we shall there abide,
Over by the crystal sea. [Refrain]
