Walking the sea

Author: J. P. Ellis Hymnal: Light and Life #20 (1881) First Line: There's a light on the dark and surging deep Lyrics: 1 There's a light on the dark and surging deep, That shines when the loud winds roar; And the form of the Friend who does not sleep, Comes on from the other shore, Walking the sea, to you and to me; Keeping the light of us, e'er to befriend. Ever in sight of us, succor to lead, Walking the sea, Walking the sea. 2 There's a light in the depths of surging life. That shineth forever more; And the Friend who would stay all sin and strife, Is here from the other shore, Walking life's sea, to you and to me; Walking so carefully, seeking to find Ever so pray'fully, earnest and kind, Walking the sea, Waling the sea. 3 There's a light in the depths of Christian hearts That gleams on the crown before; And the Saviour, whose love a bliss imparts, Attends to the other shore, Walking life's sea, with you and with me; Keeping in reach of us, watching for all. Caring for each of us, lest we should fall, Walking the sea, Walking the sea. Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a light on the dark and surging deep]
