Over by the crystal sea;
Where the blessed throng of the ransomed are,
Over by the crystal sea.

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] Languages: English Tune Title: [I will sing a song of that land so fair]
