Across The Sea Beyond The Sand

Across the sea beyond the sand,

At sunrise I shall sail away,

To dwell in that enchanted land

Where Love does stay.

And up each lonely mountain peak,

Where'er the narrow path may lead,

Beneath its burning skies I'll seek

The One I need.

Across its plains by moon and star,

And darkest night my road shall be,

Until I clasp the hands which are

Held forth to me.

And if the storms be fierce and strong

To tire me ere the search be done

My peace will be more sweet and long

If peace be won.
