Hymnal: The Morning Star #66 (1877) First Line: I am weary, I'm fainting, my day's work is done Refrain First Line: Beyond the sea Lyrics: 1 I’m weary, I’m fainting, my day’s work is done;
I’m watching, I'm waiting for life’s setting sun;
The shadows are stretching afar o’er the lea;
Then, oh, let me anchor beyond the dark sea!
Chorus:
Beyond the sea;
Beyond the sea;
Then, oh, let me anchor
beyond the dark sea!
2 The cold surging billows, that dash at my feet,
Have lost all their terror, their music is sweet;
My Savior is stilling the tempest for me;
Then, oh, let me anchor beyond the dark sea! [Chorus]
3 Come, loving Redeemer, and take to Thy breast
The heart that is panting and sighing for rest;
My Savior, I’m watching and waiting for Thee;
Then, oh, let me anchor beyond the dark sea! [Chorus]
4 I’ll lay my life’s burdens, dear Lord, at Thy feet;
For lov'd ones are watching my spirit to greet;
The portals of glory are open for me;
Then, oh, let me anchor beyond the dark sea! [Chorus] Scripture: Acts 27:44 Tune Title: [I am weary, I'm fainting, my day's work is done]
Beyond the dark sea
