 We will sail through the seas of beauty,
 * And return to the shores we please;

Far away from the callings of duty,
 * In the shade of undying trees.

All the riches of Christ will be ours,
 * 'Tis a wealth without guilt or pain.

There will be no 'Contention of Powers',
 * Nor the marks of official stain.

As I look from this earthly station,
 * I exclaim again and again—

O what an eternal vacation!
 * Come quickly, Lord Jesus, Amen.
