15402. The City Across Death's Sea

1 We shall be forever blest
In that home of peace and rest,
When from earth the Lord shall set our spirits free;
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
Nevermore to say "farewell,"
In that city just across death’s stormy sea.

Refrain:
Just across death’s stormy sea
Is a home for you and me;
There with loved ones we shall dwell,
Nevermore to say "farewell,"
In that city just across death’s stormy sea.

2 We shall live with Jesus there,
In that land so bright and fair,
When our toiling days are gone forevermore;
With the angels we shall sing
Joyful praises to our king,
When we’ve reached the landing on that happy shore. [Refrain]

3 Come to Jesus, wayward soul,
He will cleanse and make you whole,
If you only trust and serve Him evermore;
To your troubled, contrite heart
Peace and joy He will impart,
And will greet you on that bright celestial shore. [Refrain]
