The Golden Shore

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 57:2

Verse 1

Our boat is on a stormy sea, But O there’s One above us Who rules the waves and guides the oar, To reach the golden shore.

Chorus

The golden shore, the balmy shore, Beyond life a stormy ocean; The sunny shore where tears are o’er, And friends shall part no more.

Verse 2

We’ll cling to Him, our loving Lord, Nor fear the rolling billow; Though dark the night, our faith is bring, We see the distant shore.

Chorus

The golden shore, the balmy shore, Beyond life a stormy ocean; The sunny shore where tears are o’er, And friends shall part no more.

Verse 3

Row on, row on with steady hand; Look up, the clouds are breaking; O rapture sweet! our weary feet Can almost touch the shore.

Chorus

The golden shore, the balmy shore, Beyond life a stormy ocean; The sunny shore where tears are o’er, And friends shall part no more.

Verse 4

O blissful song from yonder throng That haste to bid us welcome; Our toil is done, our crown is won, Praise God! we’re on the shore.

Chorus

The golden shore, the balmy shore, Beyond life a stormy ocean; The sunny shore where tears are o’er, And friends shall part no more.
