12666. The Jasper Sea

1 When we cross the jasper sea,
When we reach the other shore,
Full of bliss our songs shall be,
Praise to God forevermore.

Refrain:
When we reach the happy shore,
Far across the jasper sea,
We will sing forevermore,
Thro’ a long eternity.

2 With the angels round the throne,
Clothed in splendor we shall stand,
Death and tears are never known,
In that bright and happy land. [Refrain]

3 Parting days will never come,
Bright our lot will ever be,
When we reach our heav’nly home,
Far across the jasper sea. [Refrain]
