First Line: On this wondrous sea
Last Line: Ashore at last!
Subject(s): Future Life; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


ON this wondrous sea,
Sailing silently,
Ho! pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar,
Where the storm is o'er?

In the silent west
Many sails at rest,
Their anchors fast;
Thither I pilot thee, --
Land, ho! Eternity!
Ashore at last!
